I inherited an interesting garden with a house purchased a few years ago.   It was a cottage style garden planted with an abundance of bearded iris, hostas, and vinca, along with specimen perennials and flowering trees.    In an effort to encourage new growth between the existing plants, I removed weed barrier fabric from beneath a heavy layer of mulch, and then waited to see what plants would emerge from the bare soil.   Would seeds sprout from native wildflowers growing close by? Would weeds take over? More importantly, would I be able to distinguish between weeds and wildflowers? In David Whiting’s The Science of Gardening , landscape weeds have many definitions, including: plants growing where they are unwanted, visually unattractive plants, plants that pose a health or safety hazard, and plants that displace more desirable plants in the garden.   The following spring, a variety of plants emerged, as well as numerous weeds.   I identified the first two...

If you haven’t lived in Colorado or the Southwest for very long, you may think that monsoons only occur in India or tropical areas.   And even through the late 1970s, there was serious debate about whether a monsoon truly existed in North America. But we do have actual monsoons here -- they are defined as large-scale wind and rainfall shifts in the summer. The monsoons bring beneficial summer moisture to the Southwestern states. We count on the monsoons to arrive sometime in early-mid July here in the mountains, relying on the cooling clouds building in the afternoons, and the brief or torrential rains to water our gardens and wildflowers.   But, the monsoons have a dark side to them as well, bringing dangerous lightning and the potential for flash floods.   And this year, the monsoons have been late to the table, and have not brought that much rain (at least so far to Gilpin County). How do monsoons work? As the summer heats up, the land warms faster than the Pacific ...

I have several plants hiding in plain sight.   Landscaped by the previous owner, my yard has a variety of cultivars tucked into inconspicuous places: hugging a wall, behind a showy perennial, hiding under bushes, and the like.   A white flowering spirea bush is one of them. Spirea plants (genus Spiraea), part of the Rosaceae family, are deciduous shrubs of various sizes.   They are low maintenance, hardy, prolific bloomers and are a great addition to any garden.   Some species bloom in the spring, others in summer, and the showy tiny flowers grow in clusters along woody stems.   Flower colors may be pink, red, yellow, or white, depending on the variety.   Most varieties tolerate poor soil, need a lot of sun, like to have room to spread out, and do not like wet feet. While they are not classified as xeric, they can manage with little water once established.   Their flowers are more prolific, however, with regular summer watering, and mulch around the p...
