  "They are cool season crops," said Ruth Quade, a Greeley master gardener.
  
  It is generally safe to plant such cool-weather crops in late March or early April.Spinach, peas, lettuce, broccoli, cabbage, garlic and onions are better when planted early, and some will be ready to harvest within weeks.
  
  Most of these plants don't tolerate the heat of the midsummer well.
  
  "March 17, St. Patrick's Day, is generally the first day to plant cool-season crops," Quade said.
  
  Quade said she sometimes covers newly planted seeds with plastic, just to increase the ground temperature a bit in the spring.Using a compost thermometer, Quade said she likes to see her soil reach a temperature of 50 degrees before she plants even her cool-weather seeds.
  
  My seeds -- the ones that were planted last fall -- lay dormant in the ground over the winter.But as the soil warmed, the seeds probably quickly germinated, happily giving me some fresh vegetables well before I've even thought of planting the rest of my garden.
  ...
  Quade warns that with the fickle Colorado weather, it is not advisable to plant any bedding plants yet.

  Ruth Quade, Greeley water conservation coordinator, said that people don't typically see the water that runs in the pipes under their homes but that it's very important they know how much goes into it.
  
  "The more they appreciate their water, the more they're going to conserve," Quade said.

  "We don't know who the people involved are or what company it is," said Ruth Quade, Greeley Water Conservation Coordinator.
  ...
  Quade said the water department has not been able to find out what the company is telling people is wrong with their water, only that residents need certain filters to fix it.
  ...
  Quade said she has seen these tactics used before and often involve a company using a fake pH strip that will change color no matter what the actual pH is.
  ...
  The water department and the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment had received six calls as of Tuesday morning, according to Quade.A large number of calls have been from Latino residents.
  
  "We're just getting little pieces [of information].We originally thought it was only happening in the Spanish-speaking areas, but we got an e-mail from Evans yesterday from English-speaking homes as well," Quade said.
  
  The Evans residents recognized it as a potential scam when the company claimed that "Weld County water is bad."Evans residents don't get water from Weld County, so they sent an e-mail to the Greeley Water and Sewer Department to alert them.
  
  The department urges anyone who is targeted by the company to call the water department before buying the unnecessary filters, Quade said.
  
  "It's completely unfounded," said Quade."We want people to not just (not) buy the filters, but to call us if they have questions and we'll talk to them."
  
  She also encourages anyone who comes in contact with the company to get as much information about them as possible.

  "You would bring it out and it gets cold again," said Ruth Quade, water conservation coordinator for the city."So we had got some landscaping and irrigation guys to help come up with that to enforce."
  
  The city water staff expects an average water year, according to a city press release.Quade said it's still kind of up in the air if there will be enough water this year.
