We are trying something new.
Well, new to us anyway (hello 21st century!). A group of horticulture agents and campus Specialists
across Colorado are blogging to bring you new, timely and interesting horticultural
information from Colorado State University and the local Extension
Offices. This blog will hopefully benefit those with an interest in the many facets of Colorado gardening—because
we know it isn't easy to have success in our sunny state. We know this because we flounder as much (or
more often) as you do. The great thing
is that every plant we kill, every cultivar we grow without success, every
mistake we make, helps you. At least we
like to think it does...
We plan to debunk myths, bring you the latest research-based
information from our land grant university, give detail about specific interest
areas, and explain why we have certain recommendations, all while having a
little fun doing it.

| Tony and Alison pontificating what to blog...we'll come up with something! |
Our plan is to update the blog a couple times a week—more if
there is something “newsy” that we need to share. At last count, there will be 16 individuals
blogging, with the encouragement to our colleagues for more participants. The great thing about Extension is that
everyone has an area of expertise—so while Dr. Koski’s news on turfgrass
recommendations might bore you to tears, we hope that Alison’s aversion to
tomatoes flips your switch (it’s true—she grows them, but refuses to eat them).
We will respond to your comments as best we can, but please
be considerate and not attack anyone.
This is an information portal and should be treated as such. And so, with a simple click of a button….let’s
blog!
