Its now November and our hummingbirds are still very active. The bears have never touched our feeders, they go after the garbage if anything.

Gorgeous! Sometimes a few hours sitting in an inch of water before planting also really helps them out, I think! I love what you’ve done with having the trio in one pot. I might have to do that this year!

Wow - I hope you’re having a great time in Ireland. Thanks for this video!

I love mine. I use it for all my garden tools and my scissors

Liberal dipsh!t

Peat moss is still the king of garden amendments, and always will be.

More woke environmentalist BS. When does it stop?

Location is everything, Canadian peat moss is higher quality and is sustainable.

It’s such an ecological disaster that everything has been returned exactly to the way it was in a short time after centuries of removing it. Oh the HUMANITY!

Ive heard it stinks like hell when its burned too!

Thanks for the ecologically sound advice.

I’m at 8700ft is that high enough? I have about 6 acres and have a small grove in the back yard. I was thinking it would be nice to have more. What do you think? Thanks for the informative video.

Ireland looks amazing.

Where are you in Colorado? We are in Parker and my mums have been blooming for 5 weeks. It is their 1st year

Can asters be perennial in flower pots?

Asters are better because pollinators are attracted to them, not the mums.

I purposely run my system when it rains to take advantage of the extra water. Usually it doesn't rain long enough to really water the lawn, but adding it to my sprinklers makes a significant difference. Rain water is always better, it's like fertilizer. I assume it picks up nitrogen out of the air along with other elements like carbon that really help green up the lawn. Watering for 10 minutes while it rains has the same effect as watering for 20 minutes when it's hot. It looks stupid, but I highly recommend it. Being the Front Range Gardener, I'm not sure if that's a reference to Eastern Colorado, but if so, I'm on the Western Slope.

I bought one of these sharpening tool at Lowe's and I love it and use it all the time...

What if the pine tree is still a baby around 18 inches tall?

Will you please explain the trees here in Colorado, I don't know the native trees. I don't know if I'm sitting under an elm, walnut, etc. The blue spruce is my favorite. Some of these trees look like a blend of mosquite and mimosa.

Mine is turning brown this summer. I lightly sprayed Roundup to kill weeds underneath the tree not thinking it would damage the tree?🤔 However, I think the hot weather this summer is the reason. I was not watering much. I had 2 others that died years ago when Denver went into drought. This one now is about 35 years old and probably 25 feet high. I have had a few branches go brown in other years no weed killer anywhere. Will leave it for a couple years to see if it recovers? The trunk is quite large 😊

Here at the Gulf Coast of Florida, they feed year round, but primarily in Summer to Fall seasons.

Our house came with 9 aspens, in a neighborhood where they are not allowed. Don’t know how previous owners got that done. One snapped in wind already. One hardly leafed out this year. One infested with ants. Should we just cut them all down? What is a good tree to take their place? Shoots are popping up from the healthiest ones. I love the look and wondering if I should keep a few. Thank you!

Hi Michael, moved a year ago from sea level Southern California to north Colorado Springs. So much to learn. My backyard landscaping is about 40% rock. Wanting to plant a few perennials in the next few weeks. Might try some more grasses, one Russian sage and sone blue tone shrubs. Suggestions welcome. Really appreciate your knowledge!

My neighbor planted aspens when our homes were brand new. The trees died within a few years, but we got lots of volunteers. We let several grow tall and for the last 7-8 years they have been beautiful. We are seeing some branches die back now and the worst part is that our lawn is chock full of aspen knots because they get whacked with every mow. It’s really awful.

We re looking to plants 5 plant for little privacy in my backyard, which ones would you recommend us , we are in denver colorado

Gambel Oak is a massive food producer for wildlife

Hate is definitely a strong word. Not sure how you could hate any of these species. Everything has pluses and minuses.

Great info, thank you!

Thanks; this was really informative. Love the animals! 🐴🐑 My soil is pretty much all heavy clay, so maybe I'll be going with mushroom amendment? Broomfield offers free mulch at our branch recycling center. Is that different than using a bagged amendment?

Cannot disagree more with your first choice tree. Unless you buy a dwarf variety, a blue spruce should not be planted in a typical 1/4 acre yard. These trees get gigantic, there is no space for them. To maintain many of these trees, people skirt them (cutting off the bottom 6-10 ft of the branches). These trees support the snow loads by balancing on those bottom branches. When skirted, the trees become extremely top heavy and fall over in big snows or high winds. Also, the pruning of these trees leaves them misshapen and weird looking. Every blue spruce in my neighborhood has been pruned aggressively and now looks just plain wrong, including the giant tree in my front yard that will eventually need to be remove because it is too big. All that being said -- I do love and have had a globe blue spruce that was magnificent.

This guy is a perfect example of the trashy people that moved to Colorado and are ruining it. Thank God he is in trashy castle rock!

Thanks for this info! I'll be able to use these types of products as soon as I can finish pulling up all of the landscape fabric the previous owners put in under the mulch. Some of it was put down in 5-6 layers of fabric overlapping! It's 20 years old so the plants and roots (and weeds) have grown in between the layers, and the soil underneath is awful. It's just hard packed clay. It's REALLY slow going work, but we're getting there! Your soil looks beautiful!!

Are those the yellow river iris? I just planted some that were divided off a friend’s yard colony

The past few years I have been just using mushroom compost and so far I am happy with the results. Thanks for the comparisons.

It is against the law to plant cottonwoods in Fort Collins unless they are cottonless.

Thanks for the info. I alrady planted my appen trees and are consdering removing them. I have the main tree abotu 40 feet high and 10 shooters that are 4-6 feet. If I wanted to kill all of these, How would I do it. I appreciate your hlep, Thank you

I’m going to have to try some lupine! And I love the dianthus. One of the best for overwintering in my own garden. Looks gorgeous!

Gorgeous ladies

What is your recommendation for a deciduous tree that attracts the least amount of bugs and requires the least maintenance for a small front yard (20 x 20)? I thought about a Rocky Mountain Maple but I don't then I have to deal with maple bugs. Looked at a bur oak but they get pretty tall and I heard horror stories about oak borers.

Is landscape gardening gardening for small yards , like less than quarter acre? Or big lots like an acre? Or park like settings of 5 acres or more?

All good choices, except the Ponderosa pine. The deer in my neighborhood just devastate the lower branches. I would use concolor much more often than blue spruce, which are subject to tip back.

What do u mean by front and back range?

You are funny 😅 Thanks for the gardening tips.

Hi! I just discovered your channel and this video. Amazing number of hummingbirds at one feeder! Thoroughly enjoyed it. ❤ Yes, please post more with birds too. Also, I noticed the hummingbird feeder you used has the perches a little too far for them to stand and rest while they feed though. You could add a strip of hot glue for them to have something to grip on, with their tiny little feet. (Not sure how well it would work in our Colorado climate). I love gardening and my husband and I love feeding the birds too. We get our feeders from Wild Birds Unlimited. Anyway, thank you for posting! I will have to check out more of your videos!

I live on 5 acres in castle rock and would say 75% of the property is shrub oak and I love it. Provides shade to the hiking paths I have built and shelter for many animals.

Never seen any videos before, the whole time I watched this I'm saying to my self if Aspen is not the number 1 this guy is dumb... He is definitely not...

Here is something to know about Angel Wing Begonias: in the Summer, put them outside in a shady area. Then bring them inside for Fall and Winter, but keep them in a sunny location. They will bloom all year long. Good luck!

You just sold me on the gambel oak, as I look for more information about them. I have them in my cart online right now. I like how you said they spread through their roots. I have white dogwoods that are the same way here in central Indiana. It would be neat to see small oak trees like this. They will probably get shaded out by the large oak trees in time, but they will hopefully have a good run for several years, and add their unique genetics to my oak tree collection.
