147 A Geodesic Greenhouse — Year-Round Gardening at 6000 Feet
In Colorado it’s cold for much of the year, but inside this cozy dome greenhouse, the plants are growing happily. Take a grand tour with Buckhorn Gardens manager and permaculturist Breigh Peterson: the greenhouse structure with its interplay of light and water, warmth and air; curving raised beds of vegetables and flowers; fish tanks moderating the temperature; vertical trellises and shelves to use vertical space. Outdoors a huge garden of row crops and a young orchard are complemented by free-roaming chickens and ducks. (buckhorngardens.blogspot.com)

Another inspiring conversation. It’s nice to see small scale farming that works year around in such a cold climate. Yesterday, I was motivated to prepare some flower boxes for growing vegetables. Although it is a nice color, I am a little worried that the compost I made is a little too strong. Well, we’ll soon see if something can grow in it.
