This blog is written from the San Luis Valley of southern Colorado & northern New Mexico. The Colorado portion of the valley is about 3500 square miles and is at an average elevation of 7500 feet. The headwaters of the Rio Grande arise on the west side of the valley, and flow to the south into New Mexico. Gardening here, whether of flowers or vegetables, requires patience and water.

First day of fall clean-up
And the dust is flying! The soil is so dry! No precipitation has fallen for a while. Every day is warm, sunny, and fairly warm (60'sF). I turned the compost in my Earth Machine composter, not quite ready to use. Maybe before the snow flies but I'll likely wait until next spring. Will write more later about more activities this past weekend. What a great day for gardening it was! Oh yeah, harvested my last two acorn squash on Saturday - the last items to come out of the garden.
