It’s time for May Flowers
Oh how we love this fantastic ‘everything comes to life’ month in Colorado. It is also the month we celebrate the Mothers in our lives and also kick off the summer with a long Memorial Day weekend.
The greenhouses are bursting at the seams waiting for warmer weather to arrive. Many of you have already been in buying trees and shrubs, exploring the nursery, and checking out the latest blooms and it’s been so nice seeing old friends and making new ones.

Garden Thymes with Jackie

Shrubs & Trees
  • Prune spring flowering shrubs (lilacs, forsythias) when the blooms are spent.
  • Plant bare root trees, shrubs by mid-May
  • Fertilize roses once they leaf out
  • Plant shrubs & trees
Annuals & Perennials
  • Pinch spent flowers on spring bulbs but allow the leaves to naturally die back. This allows the bulb to gather enough nutrients for next year’s spring flowers.
  • Plant annuals but make sure you protect them if there’s a danger of frost (last average frost date in the Parker area is May 20)
  • Plant perennial flowers & vines
Veggies & Herbs
  • Our Mighty Mato’s and are looking great! We have a good selection of peppers and other veggies as well!
  • Early-May, your cool season veggies (lettuce, snap peas, broccoli, etc…) should be in the ground.
  • In late-May plant warm season crops such as corn, pumpkins, beans, squash, cucumbers…
  • Plant bare root fruits like raspberries!
  • Harvest rhubarb & asparagus…YUMMY!
Lawns
  • Plant cool-season grass seed or turf grass.
  • Aerate & fertilize lawn
  • Keep mowing blades sharp & at the height of 2.5-3″ all season. Never cut more than 1/3 of the leaf height for maximum vigor and water conservation
In General
  • Now’s the time to weed while the weeds are small and haven’t produced seeds.
  • Mid-May start checking for those pesky insects-especially white fly & aphids
