Outside Scoop
There is a short growing season in Eagle County, roughly four months, but that doesn’t mean produce isn’t possible.
Special to the Daily
Hopefully, we have seen the last of the snowflakes for the season in the Vail Valley and we can focus our attention to warm-weather indulgences (joys) such as gardening. Wednesday, May 19, is World Plant a Vegetable Garden Day. From very complicated gardens with multiple tiers of produce and herbs to simple chive or mint plants, it’s quite simple to take part in this earth-loving, celebratory day.
In March and April, when snow is still on the ground and feet can sometimes pile up, early gardeners will plant mostly leafy greens, root vegetables and onions. Once the days begin to get longer and the temperatures warmer, tomatoes, peas, peppers, beans and so many more vegetables can go directly into the dirt of a vegetable garden if they have already been started weeks in advance or are coming from a greenhouse.
