Great info fellas! I hope to call the Arapahoe County Outreach tomorrow.
Here is what I have:
Attachment 37337
Red is where I wanted to first put my two 8'x4' gardens, the area is perfect except I have noticed that the snow has not melted in some of the places that I wanted the garden.
Orange is my second choice. It gets some southern exposure but in late afternoon it is in the shade because of the house.
North is down BTW.
I already have a pear tree and two plum trees in the backyard a few more fruit trees that I don't know what they produce. Three grape vines, that produced really good this summer after I took posession of the house, Raspberries, Blackberries, Strawberries, Shallots, Asparagus, Mint is taking over the grass unfortunately, and there is Citronella plants and either carrots or parsnips but probably both but I think that is all so far. I moved in late in the summer so we will see what else pops up.
