I'm in SW Colorado at about 7000ft.  I'm wondering the same thing.  I'd like to know what grapes are best for my area.  Hope you get your answer.

Michael Fundaro (may not have spelled that right) I'm in SW Colorado and have a really hard time growing stone fruit.  Others around here have told me the same.  Now, I've started some apples and pears.  Maybe you're in the same situation I am.

Oh deer, I have that problem too.  I have tied a rope about 3ft. from the fence on the inside at about 4ft. high.  It seems to work, they can't quite figure out how they're going to clear that as well as the fence.  I put a hook on it so I can take it down when I'm in there.  I don't see why it would work outside the fence, but would involve more posts.  

Nancy,  I'm in SW Colorado.  You can actually order them through the state here, but you may want to check with your county first.  To place them, you lift a patch of bindweed and put them under it, then press on it.  Then don't disturb that area for that season.  Eventually I hope to be able to let the county here harvest them from me.  They cut out a patch of bindweed and bag them in paper.

I've been getting Bindweed Mites from my county weed & pest.  They are starting to do a good job.  They go into the roots and stunt it to a couple of inches tall.
