I live in the thick of the elfin forest at 4200 elevation. I am so impressed with the variety and density of vegetation, in spite of the extreme weather, poor soil and abundant plant eating critters. For 60 years I lived In the desert where I grew roses, herbs, vegetables, fruits trees and beautiful flowers. No longer can I grow any of the aforementioned because the critters eat nearly everything that is planted outdoors.
However, I have come to realize that there is nothing more special then mother nature herself designing a unique, twisted and dwarfed elfin forest. Therefore, my new passion is to learn all about the plants, birds, reptiles and animals.
No more trips to the nursery and no lawnmower!
