Gardening & Landscaping

Last week we talked about what you could start planting in your garden, now if you've been thinking about cauliflower and if you should plant it, here's why you should.

With only a hint of snow showers left in the season gardening idea's run wild. What should you be doing now to plan for the season here's a spring guide to planting.

It's my yard, I can put anything I want in it, right? I have heard this argument for a long time, on one hand you have HOA's telling you you can't paint your house purple and the city may say no to clutter in a big way-how do you feel? Do you think that Fort Collins should write tickets for bad landscaping and clutter?

My yard was tore apart and now it is being put back together..but I can't decide on a tree, will you help me?

So often I am faced with a stain, a smell or just an everyday household issue that leaves me scratching my head. What do you do? How do you get rid of that or this? Then I started investigating and found that my vinegar isn't just for salads, check this out.

Rooftop and terrace gardens are a wonderful way to get a bit of green into an urban setting. Who says you have to live in the country or have a big house in suburbia to grow tons of plants and tasty vegetables? While it’s true that there’s nothing new under the sun, if you haven’t set up a rooftop garden before, there will be a few things that are new to you.

If you love volleyball and just can’t get enough in, why not consider building a proper volleyball court in your backyard?

A koi pond can literally add life to your backyard or garden, as well as sublime beauty and maybe even some much needed tranquility.

If you want to add a touch of class, mixed in with a natural rustic look to your garden, you might want to think about building, buying or carving out (with a chainsaw) an assortment of furniture made from, or at least incorporating, tree trunks.

Water adds so much to a garden. And while ponds and pools are nice, the trickle and splash of an active fountain breathes fresh air and even a bit of a mystical quality into your garden oasis. When it comes to choosing or building a fountain for your garden, there are many options available to you. Some of these options can be quite complex (if you so desire), but they don’t have to be.

A great way to incorporate some greenery into the architecture of your garden is to build a trellis. By setting one up in your backyard, you’ll be adding a wonderful, eye-catching piece of art, perfect for climbing plants and vines, and with sturdier trellises, hanging pots full of flowers and herbs as well.
