Guest Blogger–Cynthia Pasquale’s 3 Tips
This edition of “Garden Clippings” features three tips for more enjoyable gardening from guest blogger Cynthia Pasquale, a Denver writer and editor. She says her gardening inspiration comes from her father, who seems to be able to grow anything, anywhere, anytime.

This microcosm of incongruity speaks volumes about gardening. Mother Nature, especially in Colorado, never ceases to provide surprises. And it is not just the weather that can wreak havoc with plantings. It’s enough to make some grudgingly admit defeat, dump out the Miracle Grow, and throw the High Country Gardens catalog into the recycling bin.
