I pretty much agree with this depiction of the desert SW, though I would add a bit more of Nevada and less of Utah
Colorado SW does not remind me of a desert , its more like high country mountains , very steep, very cold , does have hot summers however. Durango must be the cut off area...... I agree , about NV. , does seem more SW to the north, and , not much of Utah., ...just my thoughts, however, ... I don't live in the area , just visited many times. NM. as a state , is my favorite.
It's been 48 hrs for a new one....... I was known as the Garden Belt of my country. "where am I?. (hint,,close by)
Steve, I'm not sure what you mean by "close by," but I'll guess the garden belt that you have in mind is Southern Ontario, Canada. The wonderful Okanagan Valley in British Columbia is known as the fruit belt of Canada.
You are absolutely right on southern Ontario. Very good!!!. I was born and raised in Hamilton, Ont and the area from Windsor to Niagara Falls is the Garden Belt. All the berries,cherry trees,apple trees, peach trees, grapes and other fruit are grown in the area. I worked on a tobacco farm one summer as a 12 yr old, cutting suckers and cutting tobacco leaves and helping to hang in the drying kilns. Excellent, did not think anyone would guess as it is a regional thing (location) that only locals would remember. Steve

There are "garden belts" , in almost every country of the world , where , water surrounds part of the area. Mountains also effect climate , the combo of water and elevation can produce some very prolific growing regions.

I had a hunch as I remembered that you said earlier that you were raised in Ontario. I had lived in New York State at one time, so I knew there were excellent farms in Ontario despite the relatively short growing season. By the way, have you been to British Columbia? It's perhaps my favorite place. Such a range of geographical areas!
John; yes, I have visited BC one summer vacation...rained every day there. As to the ( hint close by) was intended to make it more North America then say Europe. There are many garden belts thru out the world and did not wish the question to be vague in nature. Steve
* clue its not in the southern most parts of the SW
Could it be the large area covered by the Dixie National Forest in southern Utah? We have been to Cedar city, Cedar Breaks, Bryce and Zion. I believe Dixie Forest covers all of those areas.

Correct, SW Utah, mainly Washnington County and St. George area was called Utah's Dixie by the Mormons due to the arable land and good climate in which cotton could be grown.
