One of my favorite flowers to grow is the zinnia. This versatile flower of the month comes in many forms, sizes and varieties. They are magnificent in any garden setting. This full sun drought tolerant flower is able to withstand the heat of a long summer day. Sow seeds after the first frost to create blooms that will attract necessary creatures to your garden throughout the summer. Cheers

 

One of springs most anticipated flowers is the tulip. These once coveted and highly expensive bulbs are now readily available in numerous varieties and colors.  They extol beauty beyond compare!

 

 

 

 

For joy in spring, plant this bulb in fall approximately 12 inches below the soil with the bulb tip facing up. Soil should be free of weeds and well draining. Cheers

Snow reached peak levels and rivers are running.  A sigh of relief gives way to the knowledge that it’s not too soon to drop a line into a Rocky Mountain stream and land a trout. Try using one of my favorite flies, the prince nymph.  This fly can be fished alone or used with the dry/dropper method.  Enjoy wild mountain flowers on your way to the honey hole.  Tight lines!  Cheers

Nothing brings more cheer than our flower of the month, the Daffodil. This spring time flower is a member of the narcissus family originating in the native wooded areas of south west Europe and northern Africa.  The perennial bulb is one of the first to flower annually creating a sense of hope after a long winter.  Plant bulbs in fall for blooms that will kick start your spring growing season. Cheers

 

 

A key ingredient in the process of photosynthesis is light. Artificial lighting is a wonderful source for beginning your plants indoors however it cannot replace the sun.
