It is possible to grow above 9000' elevation???
When I first told everyone I was moving to the mountains and grow my own food I was laughed at 100% of the time. The only person that stayed by my side in all of this is my hubby. We together have been determined to make this work!
This has been my dream...even if it is over 9000' elevation at our home. Even though I was laughed at, and frankly it does seem like crazy talk, we still pressed on.
Fortunately, everyone was wrong...
We have learned this high up that some things for sure do not grow without a greenhouse, but one of my favorites that does really well is goji berries. And they are super health too.
There are actually quite a bit more you can grow in the high altitude regions such as echinacea, yarrow, fruit trees (ie; plum, apples, apricots), wine grapes, and much more.
Probably this greatest thing we have ever done was just try planting something and see if it survives...or we have found many others in our community that have been doing this much longer than us. We learn, try, and just do.
In the next few days I will highlight certain plants that grow great in a high altitude, cold and semi-arid climate.
Stay tuned...
