Colorado Gardening in March
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2024
- What can you do in your Colorado Garden in March? The Front Range Gardener has some ideas. In March, Denver and Front Range gardeners can:
Water your garden if the weather has been dry.
Prune your deciduous perennials.
Apply horticultural oil to control pests like aphids.
Add iron to your soil to prevent chlorosis in trees like maple, oak, aspen, and crabapple.
Start plants from seed, especially tomatoes.
Start tubers like dahlia and begonia to get an early start on summer blooms.
Thank you, again, now that I am watching in March.
Thanks for watching!
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
We are home schoolers in Monument! This was a PERFECT Addition to our Botany lesson! We will be following you and working your awesome lessons! THANK YOU!
Good luck to your awesome students! Thank for watching.
Arvada- i baught bulbs from king soopers that have great roots. Its almost march...can i plant them now? That foot of snow we had is mostly melted, saturating the soil...
Glad i found your channel... will watch and learn from you while waiting....after mothers day is my frost no more safe date...
Which kind of bulbs do you have?
Hi we are in Westminster. I’m excited to grow tomatoes.
Good luck with your tomatoes. Don't rush to put them into the ground. Tomatoes like warm weather.
Great video. Unfortunately psychotic Colorado weather in March has really gotten the best of me at times. Those lovely comely warm days, begging for me to start digging, and getting ready... then.. a foot and a half of wet heavy snow. Now I want to see the 'Colorado gardening in April' (the forgotten month...lol) you have a good one forJune!
Can you please list names of the products you use and where you can purchase these items? Thanks for the tips!
The iron chelate supplement I got at Amazon. www.amazon.com/dp/B00BWE2CUE
I can't remember which horticultural oil I used. It's commonly available at garden centers this time of year.
Thanks for watching.
I just found your channel and like what you're doing. I live up in Timnath just SE of Fort Collins. Would you prune Russian sage, roses, spirea, burning bush this month? Those are some of the plants in my garden. New home, new garden, new learning! :) Thanks!
I would prune them all in the next 3-4 weeks. Thanks for watching.
@@FrontRangeGardener thanks!
I'm in Longmont.. could you possibly do a video on what veggies & berries grow best on the Front Range??
I'd love to get some strawberries started, but am afraid they won't like the State.
Thanks

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! When you add the iron chelate to the drip line..do you just let it soak through the landscape fabric? What hose do you have that so nicely wraps up in your hose container?! I'm having the hardest time finding a flexible replacement! Happy gardening!🪴
I'm not a fan of landscape fabric, but you would want the iron chelate to soak through.
I really like the expandable hoses. However they are not very durable. Be careful around rose thorns. Order one size longer than you need. This is my current hose on Amazon www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZD96XMX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
@@FrontRangeGardener Thank you
Thanks for what you are teaching! Similar to another comment, are there care tips for perennial bushes and which ones do very well on the front range? We are starting to landscape our fence lines and want to provide bee and bird food too.
Salvia do really well in Colorado and are a favorite of bees and butterflies. Speedwell (veronica species) are a good complement blooming later than salvia.
For a more substantial shrub, there are many varieties of viburnum that do well. Common snowball is easy to find and has nice clusters of white flowers in early summer.
Lots of gardeners do well with burning bush and dogwood (a little shade helps the dogwood).
@Front Range Gardener thanks so much!
This is the most bipolar place i have ever been. Grew my veggies inside, jst when i put them out it snowed and rained and cold, and now they are dead
My neighbor tells me that it always snows in May. He's been right four of the five years that I have lived in Castle Rock.
After 45 years in the front range, my advice is to not bother planting anything before Mother’s Day! Nothing worse than having to dig down 2 feet of snow to find those beautiful flowers you just planted.
Thanks for watching.
