This year&#8217;s growing season is taking a lot longer than most&#8211;just ask the Hatch chile farmers in New Mexico or the peach producers on the Western Slope. Many crops are delayed because of the cool spring weather that seemed to last forever.

&#8220;I sure hope there are some potatoes growing in there,&#8221; I thought to myself as I took some pictures of my backyard potato garden.

As part of National Pollinator Week, I&#8217;d like to take time today to salute butterflies.
