I wish I could spend time in Cottonwood, especially as it's now much cooler than here. Not that it's cool here! Sadly, I have to stay close to home and can only get away when Lorne is here.
Lorne planted some snapdragons in a tree well and put a sweet potato (in a glass) on the picnic table for some color. Someone made off w/the SP! I've seen some incredible gardens up there. It's a good elevation for gardening, not too hot in summer and a longer growing season than here.There's one area in particular where people seem to be growing for markets. Lots of big greenhouses.
