What’s worse than seeing the landscape, that you worked so hard on and cared so well for, be attacked by mites and fungi? Although there are many elements of nature that could be harmful to plants, we tracked down some of the most common pests that are prevalent in early spring in Colorado. Spider mites, Clover mites, and Snow mold can all be a nuisance for your garden but there are ways they can be treated.

Please, excuse your excuses when it comes to gardening. Just because you don’t have the magical “green thumb” doesn’t mean that you can’t cultivate a flourishing garden. You simply need to cater to your audience.

In this case, we are not referring to Colorado’s rapidly growing population as the main target audience. Rather, you will need to be mindful of the steadfast qualities of the Colorado landscape that have been present for centuries on end. Primarily, this means being mindful of the alkaline soil and the quickly changing weather patterns.
