One of my great early disappointments was growing beautiful Lewisia from seed and finding that in the spring, those gorgeous rosettes had no roots remaining.

I wish I knew of a list of what was going to winter rot in my flat suburban lot.

And let's not get started on frost heaving….

Glad to hear you enjoyed Denver. There really is some amazing gardening here, and great resources for an amateur like me.

Glad you finally had a chance to realize it! 😉 Still, we'd all give our eye-teeth just to get a little more rain now and then.

Great times seeing so much w/ you and PK, not to mention all I learned from both of you – even as a former Denverite. Wish we had more time to talk, but hopefully another time! Can't wait to re-read this post.
