Well I accidentally built a massive garden, so I'm thinking tomatoes, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, jalapenos, red and green bell peppers, serranos, onions and maybe lettuce. Also open to suggestions. Garden turned out to be about 400 sq ft lol

Very cool. My brother likes to grow too, this year it's Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Jalapenos, and a few other specialty peppers. Cucumbers grow like crazy, so definitely be careful how you plant them or you will end up with way more than you bargained for.

Don't look too bad down there. Surprising since you guys usually get it worse than we do

My brother had a hard time getting his pumpkins to grow last year, probably was too hot.

My trees are not happy. I was out there beating them a bit earlier to get the snow off. I did turn traction control on the ST off yesterday. That was fun. Thankfully, roads are just wet and not snow covered.

And today I have to go to Capitol Hill, that'll be fun. But after I'm going to a friends house who lives near arapahoe high school. Is that near you?

Just up the road from you. My $0.02: If you want best-value planting, I'd suggest adding a crap ton of Basil. 3 10' rows is not out of the question. Plant it in another week or two (won't germinate until soil temps are warm anyway). It grows very well here. It is ridiculously expensive in the store and has a fridge life measured in hours. Use it with your tomatoes and fresh mozzarella for awesome summer food. Combine with garlic and scallops for grilling. At harvest time, buy parmesan, pine nuts, olive oil, and butter. Stick the whole mess in your blender (a good one, or it'll be a former blender), freeze in half pint canning jars, and you have homegrown pesto all year (pizza, pasta, bread, etc.). After Halloween, and before Thanksgiving, buy a handful of organic garlic bulbs at the grocery store. Plant each clove an inch or two deep, 6 inches apart, maybe add some muriate of potash to the soil. They'll sprout and shiver all winter (cold helps them form cloves instead of onion-like bulbs, so they say). When the tops turn brown and dry late next May/early June, pull them and Basil in where they were. You now have a yearly rotating pesto farm. Comparison: a half-pint jar will cost about $3 at the store, and is terrible compared to what you'll make. Happy planting, and hope this is last of the spring novelty weather...

I wish I had that problem. Can't keep cucumbers and pumpkins growing here because the f-ing squirrels eat them. Seriously, who the hell knew there were squash-eating squirrels? Stupid tree-rats.

Nowhere near, unfortunately. I'm up in Thornton

Thanks! Basil is definitely in the pipeline, along with some other herbs. I have a good friend that makes tons of pesto too; I'll have to poach some recipes :)

I have a Greyhound Whippet mix, she jumps 7 feet vertical from a sit. Squirrels don't like our house much...

I like that! And less legally questionable than a lot of my other ideas for solving the squirrel problem.
