Coleus Gives Color to Shady High Plains Gardens - 04/24/11 02:34 PM
If you have a shady spot, you know it’s not easy to make it pop. This year, try coleus!
These photos are from a recent to Timberline Gardens in Arvada, CO.  I was captured by the variety and colors of coleus that they had on display.
Coleus are annuals, they will die when the frost gets to them.  But in the meantime, keep them watered and they will reward with a season of color. Coleus do bloom, but the flowers aren’t the star – the amazing painted leaves are!
When you plant coleus, add some humus to your soil (I like … (5 comments)

Where Once There was a Garden ... - 04/20/11 04:16 PM
When I saw this greenhouse at a foreclosed home in Arvada last week, I knew that once upon a time a gardener lived there.  The kind of gardener that went beyond digging in the dirt, and invested the time and expense to build this structure. I saw more signs of the kindred spirit who tended this place in the carefully arranged beds, and even an abandoned trowel.
One of the distressing parts of being a real estate agent is showing an abandoned house, and knowing it was once a beloved home. Being a gardener, I feel the same way about seeing … (6 comments)

Hello, Friends & Neighbors!
I hope you’ve all gotten past tax time without getting too badly burned, and maybe even with a refund. 
Have you ever driven by a house that had a ‘For Sale’ sign in the yard, and wondered how much they were asking? Maybe the flyer box was empty, or the flyer didn’t include the price, maybe you’re not in the market for a house, but you’re just curious.
Please know that you can always call or email me, and I will find out for you.  I would need … (0 comments)

Cities Between Denver and Boulder - 04/18/11 09:29 PM
I live in Arvada, one of the cities between Denver and Boulder and I’ve noticed while reading a lot of public forums, people thinking of moving to central Colorado always seem to wonder which is better, to live in Denver or Boulder?
There are problems with both, of course – expense being #1!
 
I always wonder, what about all the lovely towns between Denver and Boulder? Especially since, often the person asking will be working in Denver and someone else in the household will be working in Boulder, or vice-versa. The cost of housing is less in the 'between' cities, and … (3 comments)
