One of the best parts about May is finally seeing flowers and plants in bloom. But before they're ready to be enjoyed by you or your neighbors, there are a few things that need attention. Start with fertilizing and planting them now so they'll grow nice for this month! Don't forget yard maintenance too. Mowing grass or trimming shrubs are important and without proper irrigation plants can dry out. Be on the lookout for insects as well.

Common Garden Pests in Colorado (and How to Manage Them)

SPIDER MITES
"These tiny bugs may be brown, orange-red, green, greenish-yellow, or almost translucent if you can see them at all. They thrive in hot, dry weather, spinning fine strands of webbing on host plants, where they lay their eggs. When they feed on leaves, a graying or yellowing occurs. When they attack your flowers, you’ll notice a burned appearance.

What you can do about them
Hosing off plants with a forceful jet of water can physically remove and mites. You also want to clean off the dust that collects on foliage and interferes with mite predators.
Keep plants adequately watered to avoid drought stress, which can lead to spider mite outbreaks.
Insecticidal soaps and oils are effective and less toxic to pets and people than chemical pesticides"

Late April is a busy time for lawn care in Colorado, but it's also one of the most beautiful. With new flowers and grasses just about to peek out from their underground homes, now is your chance to get ahead on these essential spring chores:

-Fertilize seedlings that have come up as well as older plants with an organic fertilizer made specifically for this purpose. This will help them grow strong roots before they start soaking up water so you can keep those weeds at bay!
-Give your irrigation system some extra love by adding more granules or changing how often you turn off valves when watering certain spaces such as flower beds along walkways. The right amount of moisture makes all the difference between a healthy yard.

GRASSHOPPERS
"These bouncing bugs can gobble up half their body weight in a single day. Small numbers of them tend to move on, but if your garden has become home to a large number of grasshoppers, there are some steps you can take to protect your plants:

Sprinkle boric acid along the garden edges. This also kills ants and aphids.

Crush half a dozen garlic cloves and let them sit in 1/2 cup of mineral oil overnight. Add 5 cups of water to the mixture and strain it into a spray bottle.

Add two crushed bulbs of garlic to 10 cups of water and bring to a boil. Allow this to sit all night before spraying the mixture in your garden.

Grasshoppers will search for grassy areas of your yard. As you prepare your lawn for spring, you’ll discourage them by mowing, watering, and fertilizing."

FLEA BEETLES
These small bugs with large back legs come in numerous colors, including striped, black, bronze, brown, metallic, or bluish-gray. Small white larvae feed on the roots of newly planted seedlings. Adult flea beetles become active in early spring, feeding on plant leaves and stems.

How to get rid of them
Adult flea beetles will attack the tallest, earliest crops available. Plant a sacrificial crop, such as radish, before you plant your main crop. Once beetles start feeding, spray with a pesticide labeled for treating flea beetles.
Use screening to protect the seedlings, but remove barriers before the flowers come up so that pollinators can reach the plants.

Common Garden Pests in Colorado (and How to Manage Them)

WHITEFLIES
These tiny winged insects hang out in clusters underneath leaves. Somewhat triangular, they’re active during the daytime. They like tomatoes and bell peppers, so check these plant leaves carefully and often.

How to get rid of them
-Spray a mixture of dishwashing liquid and water early in the morning or late in the day. A good sq**rt of soap into a gallon of water is the right ratio.
-Use a handheld vacuum every few days to remove them from your plants.

Common Garden Pests in Colorado (and How to Manage Them)

APHIDS
These tiny sap-sucking insects come in all different colors, including light green, white, black, brown, gray, and yellow. Their soft, pear-shaped bodies can appear waxy or woolly. With their long antennae, these creatures would be adorable — if they weren’t so destructive. Aphids multiply quickly, and when large clusters of them inject their toxic saliva into plants, you’ll see leaves curling or turning yellow. You also leave a sticky “honeydew” substance on your plants, which can attract other insects, such as ants.

How to get rid of them
-First, try wiping off the affected leaves. If you have an infestation, try spraying the leaves with a mixture of water and dish soap. You may need to re-treat the leaves every few days for a couple of weeks.
-Lady beetles (ladybugs) love to eat aphids, so buy a colony, either online or at your local nursery and release them into your garden.
-Plant some catnip near your affected plants, as the herb repels aphids. Keep in mind. You may be overrun with neighborhood cats.
