Planting the Family Garden Plot: June 7th, 2012

Welcome to Gardening in Hellgate Canyon, Montana. As you might imagine, Hellgate Canyon, is not an easy place to garden.  It is the first week of June, the nights are still chilly, most evenings we are in the low forty's though we had a light frost just a few nights ago. Nevertheless, we are longtime Montanan's and are undeterred by the challenge. This year we decided to participate in a relatively new community garden, The Milltown Garden Patch. I will use this blog to chronicle our garden's progress. In this part of Montana we generally have about a 100 day growing season. So time is of the essence let's get to work!
