Plant Summer Flowering Bulbs in Spring in Your Colorado Garden

[@eliana18ar]

I love your videos! I’m In Castle Rock CO and love to learn from a more experience gardener here since I’m a newbie. 😅

[@FrontRangeGardener]

You are so kind. Thanks for watching.

[@JoeSmith-gb6mq]

Same here!!,

@@JoeSmith-gb6mq I'm in Castle Rock too! Thanks for watching.

Hello from Longmont! I'm happy to be getting in on this channel while it's new. Can you do a video about any edible perennials that can survive Colorado winters outdoors?

[@FrontRangeGardener]

That's an interesting topic. Off the top of my head, there are fruit trees that meet that definition. Thanks for watching.

[@LauraGYoung]

Nice!! Would love an update on how these bulbs are doing, especially the lilies.

[@FrontRangeGardener]

The lilies do fine in my flower bed. I think they may do better if I improve the irrigation system this year. The gladiolas that I planted looked amazing. I dug them up in fall, and I'll replant those in early May.

I love watching gardening videos from all over the country but when it comes to actually learning about growing in CO, I come back to you. No place has the conditions we have to be mindful of. Have you made (or will you make) a video about the intense sun here? When choosing plants, the zone map is handy to know what survives the cold but is there an equivalent guide for how heat tolerant a plant is?

[@FrontRangeGardener]

Good point. The hardiness zone is just one criterion. Precipitation, aridity, sun, and soils all matter too.

Another informative video. I’ve used a bulb auger for years as I planted daffodils and narcissus to ‘naturalize’ beneath a massive ash tree. On future videos, could you please demonstrate when/how to trim lilac, Nine bark, and other shrubs? Many thanks!

[@FrontRangeGardener]

Great idea on pruning lilacs. I have some in my yard that are pretty young. I recall that lilacs bloom on year-old wood. Thanks for watching.

[@zoefelix650]

Can you please demonstrate 6"? My husband has told me that 6" is pretty big... but i recently found a ruler, and I am confused now... Any thoughts about *true 6"?

[@zoefelix650]

😅😂😂😂

[@FrontRangeGardener]

I'm not going to touch that one.

[@zoefelix650]

Baught on sale bulbs from king soopers with great roots. Mid February now, can i plant them? (Idk what they are)

[@FrontRangeGardener]

I'll guess that you got dadfodils or hyacinth. I would wait until the blooms fade before transplanting them. They are probably "ahead of schedule". Daffodils and hyacinth outdoors will bloom in April into May. Don't rush to put them in the ground.

So glad to see a Colorado gardener. We have such unusual soil and weather. Would love to see something on xeriscape or natural plants for low watering.

Thanks for watching.
