Good news for those fixing up the yard or planting a summer garden – from July 13 until it's gone, the City of Fort Collins Forestry Department is offering free mulch to residents who are willing to come pick it up.
The Boulder County Jail recently brought in 2 cats to hunt mice in its organic garden, but their duties took on a much greater meaning that'll tug at your heartstrings.
With hail season upon Colorado, and Fort Collins gardeners hail-shy after the storms we've suffered in recent seasons, I've installed a hail protection system that I hope will protect my plants this year.
Last year's hail storm that destroyed my garden didn't dim my enthusiasm for the activity. I'm planting again, and even added some square footage to my little plot!
