I'm in Butte, Montana. We are in zone 3 and our last average frost date is the first week of July. Annual gardening is not only a lot of yearly work but also extremely limited here with such a short growing season. For example, I have to grow tomatoes in pots and bring them into the house most of the fall. This leads to tons of fruit flies in the house. I credit @gardeningchannel with leading me down this path of gardening.
