Spring is Tricky in Colorado


The big rule for gardeners in Colorado is to never plant a thing until Mother's Day. Nurseries do a huge business once that holiday comes along.  But, this year, Mother Nature  decided to give herself the gift of more wintertime. Maybe she overslept. Maybe she's feeling a little bitchy. (she's no spring chicken, after all) So she's snowing and freezing and bending branches, and crashing cars, and it's after Mother's Day. Saturday was warm and a beautiful spring day. Sunday was not.
