It's the very best time to be in the garden center! We're planting like mad and it's such fun to see things green and growing after a long Colorado winter. This week is a busy week, agriculturally in our area. The Four States Ag Expo runs through the week. Vic is giving three presentations there, so if you are interested in learning some fun, new gardening tips, join him there. We are frantically planting perennials and there are some very exciting new ones this year. One of the best is "Fire Spinner" Ice Plant. This is a tough plant that's well suited to our high mountain climate. In fact, it's one of the Plant Select choices for this year. This ice plant is a shocking color combination of the individual flowers. The apple green foliage contrasts with the orange, pink and red flowers. Stunning, spectacular addition to your garden!

The other one I like is "Poem of Ecstast" iris. I'm an iris nut, so this one really caught my eye with it's pink and lavender falls. Check this one out for an exciting new addition to your yard.

Don't forget shamrocks for St. Patty's day on Saturday! Everyone's a LITTLE Irish!
