Thank you for all of the good feedback ladies, I appreciate hearing from you.
Danita, the most important thing is to make sure you have good soil. The cow manure works great or else you can get some compost. Check at your local gardening center for their tips on this as I don't know what type of soil you have in Colorado. I did most of my gardening in NY on Long Island where we had alot of sand in the soil. Now I'm in NC and we have the opposite, CLAY!
