(Although the locals call us "northern" Colorado.)

I'm Julie, aka ndc or Natural Design Chick. My family and I live in between Denver and Colorado Springs on 2.5 acres. We're on the side of a mountain, high desert, at 7400'. I have strong permaculture leanings and have been creating an edible forest garden. We're also in process of building a greenhouse this autumn. It will be just over 800 sq ft and I can't wait! Between the deer, bears, fox and coyote, it can be challenging to garden here. And that list doesn't include the lack of water. We average 12-15"/year.

I recently built two raised beds and a chicken tractor topper using Patti's awesome directions. (Details on my Knittlebits (http://knittlebits.com) blog.)

I'm looking forward to sharing information with everyone on the forums.

Thanks for the greetings everyone. I'll start up a thread on the greenhouse so you can all see it evolve.
