permaculture

["Vic Guadagno" <vguadagno@hotmail.com>]

I live in downtown Boulder Colorado...just purchased a townhouse w/yard, and
will be implementing an urban Permaculture garden, so will be more active in
the listserve, seeking guidance and suggestions.  The front yard is
currently 1 1/2" of stone on top of plastic, and the back (south) is
hard-pack soil with grass (120 sq. ft. each).

Boulder is high altitude, dry with over 300 sunny days/year.  Winters are
relatively mild. Summers can be very hot but are dry.  Boulder has a mild,
four-season climate.

while January is generally the coldest with a mean temperature of 32ºF.
