ADOPTED by ALICIA DUNN Hollyhocks and sunflowers just scream summertime to me. They remind me of having to find shelter from the sun and heat and having a big, cold glass of lemonade in a hammock. How do I know this? I haven't always lived at 9,000 feet above sea level! Both of these beauties are difficult to grow at our altitude along with corn and tomatoes. It feels like we have about a 3 day growing season... but I keep trying along with many other optimistic high altitude gardeners but usually end up with lettuce and radishes and having to frequent farmer's markets. I think I'll go plant some seeds inside in anticipation of having another bumper crop of small frozen plants this summer. Enjoy your day and I will be in search of some green grass somewhere to stick my toes in. Buona giornata, have a nice day!
I'm posting early today as I'm heading down valley to the Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing gathering for 24 wonderful veterans. My handsome husband, Bill, is a guide for them and they graciously let me tag along to paint. Till tomorrow!
