As I was going through some photo memories when we lived in the mountains of Colorado there was still snow on the ground and in places around the house it was still hardpacked and deep. This time of year we would have had up to 249-380' of snow. No way I could get my garden started yet.
Here I have spinach, lettuce, cauliflower, cherry tomato and parsley coming up. Our blackberry bush is growing well, squash, as is the apple tree and blueberries. Unfortunately they have to grow in container for our land is mostly rock, some very large and must weigh tons. That is okay because we have a large deck to grow them on. The spring rains are really helping things grow so I should have a harvest before I could even get my garden going in Colorado.
Growing at 9,800 ' elevation is hard but so is growing in rocky soil here. But grow we do and fresh veggies is worth it.

Container gardens are nice especially on a deck...easy access to your veggies.
