Traditional cloches were made of glass, but today’s options include plastic and even water-filled walls that insulate plants. You can also make a simple DIY cloche by placing a 5-gallon bucket over your plants. For extra protection against cold and snow, lay a blanket on top.

Intensive planting in Colorado also minimizes bare soil exposure to weeds, the intense summer sun, and desiccation. Furthermore, it localizes precious water to a smaller area, ensuring efficient use by the plants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c9998bea76ff7067561db0/561e1bfc-0d7a-45aa-bad8-33fc047e2f59/seed-spacing.jpg Blog - Direct Sow Seed Starting - To determine spacing for intensive planting, refer to the seed packet or the seed supplier’s website for their spacing recommendations. Usually, you’ll find both a seed spacing number and a row spacing number. Disregard the row spacing number as it does not apply to raised garden beds. Instead, focus solely on the seed spacing number. This number indicates the actual spacing between plants. https://www.mycoloradogarden.com/blog/grow-a-spring-vegetable-garden monthly 0.5 2025-05-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c9998bea76ff7067561db0/9abaf8d8-4e70-452a-b1c0-22417e78f041/Spring-Garden_featured.png Blog - Grow a Spring Vegetable Garden - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c9998bea76ff7067561db0/e89720c9-2736-4895-ac73-5c83261a8d2d/Copy+of+Seasonal+Guide+%28North+Denver+Metro%29-digital.pdf.png Blog - Grow a Spring Vegetable Garden - If you’d like more information about local growing seasons, check out my Free North Denver Metro Growing Guide.

If needed, place the seed tray with a dome on the heat mat. Remove the dome once there’s some germination and remove the heat mat when about half of the seeds have sprouted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c9998bea76ff7067561db0/bdf10503-2f76-48ed-b86f-f7edc6166059/seed-fan.jpg Blog - Indoor Seed Starting Basics - AIR CIRCULATION Provide good air circulation for your seedlings.

While they shed their leaves, their bark texture, color and branching shapes offer structure and visual appeal. Some deciduous trees retain their leaves until spring growth prompts shedding, a trait known as “persistent”. This trait can apply to leaves or fruit and is something to consider when shopping for trees or shrubs.

There are two native milkweed species in Colorado: Showy Milkweed (Asclepias speciosa) and Antelope horn milkweed or Spider Milkweed (Asclepias asperula). However, there are many non-native species of milkweed that are also appropriate. Just be sure the scientific name starts with Asclepias so that the monarch caterpillars will be able to eat it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c9998bea76ff7067561db0/8a462034-7e54-4524-9917-eaa9337bb7cd/swallowtail-milkweed.png Blog - Support The Monarch Butterfly In Colorado - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.mycoloradogarden.com/blog/houseplant-pest-aphids monthly 0.5 2026-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c9998bea76ff7067561db0/1e396685-8124-4b14-aaa7-fb1270883018/aphids-on-jade-1.jpg Blog - Houseplant Pest: Aphids - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c9998bea76ff7067561db0/cdabf9ee-694f-4aed-8f72-cf4ac20ec506/aphids-on-jade-2.png Blog - Houseplant Pest: Aphids - Make it stand out Aphids on my jade plant as viewed under magnification work light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c9998bea76ff7067561db0/7129593b-3325-483a-94d6-20f8e1379584/aphids-on-jade-3.png Blog - Houseplant Pest: Aphids - Make it stand out Aphids as seen with my DSLR camera and macro lens. https://www.mycoloradogarden.com/blog/how-to-set-new-years-garden-goals monthly 0.5 2025-05-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c9998bea76ff7067561db0/f898b2cc-991b-4745-8c1a-4d6f6c44f106/2022-2.jpg Blog - How To Set New Year’s Garden Goals - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.mycoloradogarden.com/blog/fall-garden-tasks-when-time-is-short monthly 0.5 2025-05-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c9998bea76ff7067561db0/af451c23-df20-4b56-b396-8c5447c401e3/frosty-leaves-21.jpg Blog - Fall Garden Tasks When Time Is Short - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c9998bea76ff7067561db0/9108e7a7-c17b-4d36-8589-9d70edbfa613/mulched-perennials-rs.jpg Blog - Fall Garden Tasks When Time Is Short - Tender perennials that are one zone higher Mulched Perennials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c9998bea76ff7067561db0/fd9f053d-2b34-472a-b8fa-a5727f7a104e/2021-fuchsia-rs.jpg Blog - Fall Garden Tasks When Time Is Short - This Trailing Fuchsia ‘Swingtime’ is rated for zone 9-11.
