May 24, 1953—April 23, 2024
Covill Funeral Home
Charlotte Irene Boroff, "Charlie," passed away April 23, 2024, in the presence of her children at her residence in Pinedale, Wyoming. Charlie was born in Buffalo, Wyoming on May 24,1953 to Robert and Lila Dunn. The Dunn family moved to Colorado where Robert was a school superintendent. Charlie lived in Colorado for many years, where she married and had three children: Anne, Emmy, and Robert "Bobby." She also lived in Michigan, Florida, and Arizona before moving to Pinedale, Wyoming in 2013 after suffering from a stroke.
Charlie was a life-long Denver Broncos fan—50 years or more! She was very social, loved being around people, and had an unforgettable laugh. She was also very creative and enjoyed making Halloween costumes and crocheting blankets and stuffed animals. She loved her grandchildren dearly, and she spent her final years at the Sublette Center, where the staff loved her and treated her like family.
She is survived by her two brothers, Jim and Joe; her children: Anne Davis of Aurora, Colorado; Emmy (Matthew) Daniels of Pinedale, and Robert (Melissa) Davis of Denver, Colorado; her grandchildren Brianna (Chris), Kacey, Thane, Adrianna, Noah, and Maegan; and great- grandchildren Jaelin, Alexis, Jaxon, and Logyn.
A memorial service will be held Saturday, April 27, at 11:00 am at Emmanuel Baptist Church, 1 Gooseberry Circle. All who knew her are invited to attend.

ASK FLORA April 2024 (posted 4/21/2024)
Sage & Snow Garden Club
Dear Flora,
I am starting to plan for my garden space this season. I was wondering if you could tell me the advantages of raised bed gardening?
Thanks, Beddy Green
Dear Beddy,
There are many reasons that you might want to garden in raised beds. Beds can be any shape, size, depth. Raised beds can be built at height to reduce bending/kneeling and to accommodate gardener’s physical needs. Beds can be accessed without stepping on the soil (reduces soil compaction). The soil in raised beds warms up quickly in the spring (up to 12 degrees warmer than in-ground beds). Beds can be filled with organically rich soil, amend native soil with compost or needed fertilizers, or use other ingredients to improve soil drainage. Beds can be located almost anywhere-- for best solar exposure/convenience. Raised beds can produce more vegetables than traditional in-ground beds. Beds are easy to adapt for insect, critter, or frost protection. You can add hardware cloth underneath to protect from rodents. You can add netting to prevent insect infestations. Row covers can protect from frost and larger critters that like your tasty crops too!
Dear Flora,
Can you tell me the benefits of using row covers? Could you recommend some types of row covers that help to extend our Sublette growing season?
Shari Rowe
Dear Shari,
Row covers are so valuable in our climate! Row covers help to trap warmth and provide wind protection to create a microclimate that promotes plant growth. The covers benefit our vegies and fruit production by keeping out unwanted insects and larger predators that love to devour everything they can get to. Row covers can be layered to increase the level of thermal protection on our frosty nights. Row covers do require hoops for frames and clamps or some type of weights to keep the covers in place.
Some garden club favorite row covers include—
1.5 ounce Agribon cloth (frost protection down to 24 degrees)
2—4 mil poly row covers (add 3—6 degrees of frost protection)
Dio-Betalon 550 (absorbs dew and frost between layers, provides wind protection while allowing water to permeate through, can add additional cover for frost protection when needed).
Dear Flora,
The voles at my house last year ate everything! Do you have any ideas on how to get rid of them?
Harry Trapper
Dear Harry,
It was a record year for voles last season. Many local gardeners have been struggling with your same problems. Voles will eat roots of bulbs and perennial flowers. They tunnel and burrow into garden beds eating everything in sight. They need to eat their weight in plant food every day because their metabolism is so high. They can breed year round having up to ten litters per year. This creates a big problem for gardeners! Once again, our local Sage & Snow garden club members have a few suggestions:
- Mow grass and trim perennials very short and bag it in the fall to remove food & cover.
- Remove hiding places like boards, pallets, straw, leaves, and mulch.
- Use ½ inch wire mesh hardware cloth under raised beds. Use stock tanks, lick tubs, or other tall planters for planting.
- Use inches of gravel in plant holes to protect plant roots.
- Trapping is effective—use Jawz Mousetraps or the Better Mouse Trap by Intruder. Change kinds of bait, place traps in burrow paths and up against walls (since they like to scurry along edges).
- Voles don’t like the smell of castor oil pellets or predator urine-soaked pellets like "Shake-Away Rodent Pellets". Try these products in your yard.
- Poison them—use Kaput Bait Stations or poison bombs in their tunnels. (Warning--this option can be dangerous for dogs, cats, and wild predators).
Dear Flora,
Where can I learn more about gardening in Sublette County?
Ever Grateful,
Sage Snow
