Boulder Mountain Organic Gardeners

I have been a member of the Boulder Culinary Gardeners (BCG) for a number of years.  It is wonderful collection of avid vegetable gardeners with a vast range of experience.  Lately the group has become so popular that it has been hard to hold meetings of the whole group.  Instead it now provides classes on a number of gardening topics to all comers.

One difficulty I have with BCG is that members mostly garden in the Boulder flatlands at around 5,500 altitude.  That means they enjoy an unfair growing advantage over us Mountain gardeners.  The season is shortened by about 10 days for every 1000 ft altitude; my last frost date can be June 1st.  The picture is of the path to my greenhouses.

So a few of us hardy Mountain gardeners have got together to start our own group: Boulder Mountain Organic Gardeners (BMOG).  We hope to hold our first big meeting in a couple of weeks.  You have to be crazy to garden in the Rocky Mountains so it should be interesting!

If you are a gardener, think about joining or forming your own group.  It is an immensely valuable arena to share gardening experiences. Tell me about your.
