February in Colorado: What Your Garden Needs Now

Feb 15

Let's be real - February in Colorado is a wild ride. One day it's 50° and sunny, the next we're buried in snow. But that doesn't mean your garden has to be on pause! Here's your guide to making the most of this quirky month.

Smart Moves for Your Late Winter Garden:

Watch for Winter's Clues Those melting snow patterns? They're like a map showing you where to plant this spring. And those spots where native plants are already peeking through? That's valuable intel for your future garden plans.

Quick Checks That Make a Difference

Give your winter-protected plants a once-over (especially after those crazy wind days)
Keep an eye on snow-loaded branches
Look for signs of our year-round wildlife friends - they're telling you what's working in your garden

Getting Ready for Spring (Because It'll Be Here Before You Know It)

Start dreaming up where you'll add those water-smart native plants
Think about swapping some of that thirsty lawn for something more Colorado-friendly
Check your irrigation system while everything's visible (trust us, it's way easier now)

Pruning: The Time Is Right - Now is actually perfect for pruning most trees and shrubs. But leave those ornamental grasses standing - they're winter condos for local wildlife, and they look pretty cool with frost too.

Here's What Not to Do Yet Hold off on the spring cleanup urge. What looks messy to us is actually premium real estate for birds and beneficial insects. Plus, it's protecting your soil from our wild temperature swings.
