Colorado’s climate is naturally very arid and its temperatures vary wildly in short periods of time. This along with alkaline soils and a shorter growing season can create many challenges for the gardener in areas like Colorado. However we can grow many fruits successfully.

Sure, you could take the easy route and head on over to Ikea or your local lawn-and-garden shop and pick up a few pieces of outdoor furniture for your backyard.
