Mike and Mindy welcome us to their farm: Mountain Roots Produce out in Mancos, CO. A diverse farming operation at its finest. 

Where to find locally grown seeds? Can I eat weeds? How do I get rid of pocket gophers and other rodents? Pros and cons of vermiculture (worms)?

It happens. We make mistakes even after gardening for so many years. 

Spring flowers are critical for our pollinators. Not only will they help pollinate your fruit trees, giving you loads of pears, apples, and plums in summer and fall, they are critical in our ecosystem.

The challenges of gardening during the worst prolonged drought in 1200 years. Plus, busy weeks ahead for southwest gardeners.

To frame or not to frame? That is the question. Pros and cons of building raised beds or just planting directly in the soil. 

Let's get to know our soil. Come sit down on the couch and we can talk.

See, told you. April is mean. Cold temps do some damage to fruit tree buds. And some discussion on all things amendments (cover crops, compost piles, and the dreaded herbicide carry-over).

We get in the helicopter and take a trip up the Animas Valley to visit Adobe House Farm and their amazing greenhouses.

On this week's Garden Guys, Tom and Darrin cover a lot of ground – discussing infrastructure: trellising, container gardening, and  irrigation systems, in some depth.
