Productive vegetable gardens can be grown almost anywhere in Wyoming if they are managed wisely. The environment of plants needs to be modified to counteract the short growing seasons, cool temperatures, low humidity, and high winds characteristic of many parts of the state. This UW Extension bulletin explains general considerations as well as provides information on how to start vegetables indoors; successfully grow warm- and cool-season vegetables; select varieties; use mulch; and extend the growing season.
