It’s that time of year to start digging around in the dirt and laying the foundation for a bountiful summer garden. But our arid, urban environment presents some unique challenges, so how do you actually decide what to grow where? What if you don’t have much space? Or any outdoor space at all? Host Bree Davies is joined by our favorite gardening expert Ann Marie Awad to answer listener questions about shade, ground cover, tomatoes, and everything in between.
Ann Marie sung the praises of CSU extension, a great resource for all your questions about Colorado’s unique natural environment. Also, here’s the hookup for the “Instagram tomato lady” we raved about and a great list from the Denver Post for some upcoming plant sales!
