Mow Green: Cordless Electric Mowers at a discount

Hey Denverites.

This is for you! If you have a gas-guzzling, gas-fuming, oil-burning, earth-harming lawn mower and want to get in on the green revolution, SAVE some green too, then here is your chance.

I have had an electric cordless mower for three years. It is a Homelite. I loved it until this past spring when it died on me. I need a new battery but other than that, it rocks. It cuts just as good as an engine/gas-powered mower and you don't smell afterwards. Your air is clean and you never have to worry about running out of gas or changing the oil.

Take advantage of this program. You won't regret it. I have two friends that have this exact Neutron mower and they love it. Swear by it. NEVER at it!

Our shrubs and trees are just about ready to blossom! This bud is from one of three new Chanticleer Pears I planted last year. My wife was hoping they would be popping by now but I think we have another year of maturity before we really see any significant blooms.

Watering in the winter in Colorado

Man, is it dry out, huh? If you live anywhere from 5000-5300 feet, you know what I am talking about.
I had to get out and water today for the second time. Even though the weather forecast says snow and rain for the next few days, I do not trust that it, first, WILL come, and second, we will get enough to make a difference.

The wildfires are already a threat at this time of year, especially THIS year, so it is a testament to watering your precious, especially under two-year old, shrubs, plants and trees.

The rule of thumb is you should water your shrubs, plants and trees slowly - on a drip hose - or by hand - to about an inch of water per plant. I usually water one tree, move to the next, until water runoff and then re water. That seems to do the trick. If you have build little motes around your trees and shrubs just fill these up to the top and move on.

I hope these dry days are coming to an end and Spring will bring us some much-needed rain.
