I am an Eastcoaster transported to the Rocky Mountain area after having had a brief sojourn of a few years in Lund, Sweden. Many years after this, I was reading blogs from Sweden and Norway to practice the language.  I soon saw that I related to their attachment to the land in the garden blogs..  I know gardening in Scandinavia is particularly challenging.  I consider my blog musings a response to the attachment to the land that I read about in their blogs. I have new attachments now, to this high and dry plateau, the grasslands of the Interior West.
I garden on an acre lot, divided to accommodate two horses, in zone 5b.
