I felt like I was reading about Spokane! We also get 16” of annual rainfall, mostly as snow. And 30-40 deg temp swings in 24 hours. We aren’t as high elevation as you, but 2000’ full sun here is NOT the same as full sun at sea level and plants will scorch (I have to plant tomatoes in part sun). All the more reason why my front yard is adorned in natives. Thank you for capturing the benefits of native plant gardening so well!

I'm in Wyoming. Around 6500 feet, the high winds, the hail, and the clay soil...it's a challenge. I'm finally getting the hang of it though. Good luck and hope all us Rocky Mountain gardeners can share lessons learned.
