It’s hard to know when it’s safe to plant tomatoes and peppers in Colorado- more often than not, we get a May snow storm- or one last frost.

These walls of water can help keep them warm if you want to plant before Mother’s Day!

I got impatient, and decided to plant my own garden today, while transplanting the plants for the CRES garden— just in time for a little rain. The forecast looks pretty nice this coming up week, so I decided to risk it. ¨̮

I have an experiment going with some plants inside the walls of water, and some outside. Stay tuned...

What do you have planted in your gardens?! Share pics!!
