Product Description

The climate and growing conditions in the Rocky Mountains are perhaps the most varied in the United States. That's what makes us such adventurous gardeners! All it takes is some good information to go beyond adventurous and become successful. Knowing the "when-to" and the "how-to" (as well as the "why-to") are the keys to learning to garden, no matter where you live in our great region.
Spanning a staggering seven hardiness zones and five states (Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming), the climate in the Rockies ranges from lows as cold as -40 to -45 degrees Farenheit in zone 3a (much of the Rockies) to a relatively blamy average winter temperature of 20 to 25 degrees Farenheit in zone 9a in southern Utah. But good gardening takes more than knowing your hardiness zones. Wherever you live, there are certain tasks that you can expect to do each month.
