One of the challenges we face living here in SE Utah at 7000 ft. is gardening. We have a very short growing season and it's very dry and windy, especially winds from the south and southwest. Last year we put one garden box in but the poor little plants just got beaten to death by the wind and didn't get enough warmth to actually reach maturity. It was a bit depressing.
This the the south side of our house. We have been pondering the feasibility of attaching a greenhouse type room onto this end of the house. It's a huge blank wall that attracts lots of sunshine. The greenhouse would be able to use that heat and the plants would be protected from the wind by being enclosed.
It's not in the cards this year, but we are hoping that it will become a reality in the near future. Growing our own produce would be so helpful to our family.
