Colorado Springs is expecting a freeze soon. This cold weather comes after a warm April. The warm weather caused plants and trees to grow leaves and flowers earlier than usual. Now, the freeze could hurt these plants. Gardeners are being advised to wait until mid-May to plant new things. If they plant early, they should watch the weather forecast. Nursery owners are protecting their delicate plants by putting them inside or covering hardier ones. Even trees that have bloomed may lose their flowers.
