I just watched all of your videos! This is a great resource for front range gardeners. You shared some great ideas for shrubs. I would love to see information on perennials for the front range - esp those with low water requirements.
Thanks for watching! Water wise perennials sounds like a good future topic.
Thank you ❤
You're welcome!
Great information. We’ve recently moved to the Front Range from Virginia, where it is lush and humid and ANYTHING will grow without any more than a few waterings when initially planted and then rainfall will take it from there. We moved onto a property with a lot of overgrown and poorly placed shrubs and plants. I’m still in the process of just identifying them so I can “repair “ or replace them where needed. Your channel is going to be a great help for us. Thank you! Subscribing!
Welcome to Colorado. Thanks for.watching.
Love me some blue spruce!
Right?
Great video, thank you so much for sharing. Do you have any boxwoods you recommend? I am in Denver proper.
My landscape design is less formal, so I don't know much about boxwoods. Thanks for watching.
I live in southern co and I am looking for a good evergreen 🌲 to create a hedge, something to substitute a Emerald Arborvitae type. What would you recommend other than juniper?
Pinyon pines might work.
I just lost several shrubs to some gnawing voles, including serviceberry and butterfly bushes. First time this has happened in 19 years! Any ideas on how to keep this from happening? Would burying hardware cloth work? I tried dried cayenne pepper and live trapping to no avail.
I had a cat that rid the neighborhood of voles. That doesn't work for everyone. I'll see if I can find some other ideas.
Colorado State University has a lot of information on voles and their control at extension.colostate.edu/topic-areas/natural-resources/managing-voles-in-colorado-6-507/
@@FrontRangeGardener -- Thanks for the link! Yeah, I think that, along with the grasshoppers, it was just one of those years where the local population exploded. (And the fact that a couple of nearby fields were recently bulldozed for construction probably didn't help, either.)
