Treat yourself to the results of your hard garden work by planting these themed container gardens.
The bitter cold here in the East has wreaked havoc on the garden this week. I’m not so much worried the many perennial plants, trees and shrubs we have on the property that are fully hardy down to USDA zone 5 and below.
After we are through the holidays on the homestead and into the new year, it’s not necessarily a time of relaxation. Spring, summer and fall are filled with great physical activity, but winter is my time to catch up on that stack of magazines and books that have been piling up.
As you plan your 2014 garden, consider adopting a more organic approach if you haven't already.
Our farm is named after the beautiful mockingbird, which tends to be quite territorial about the property where it nests.
Modern plasticulture technology could be the small-scale farmer’s solution to a more productive farm.
If you're looking for a New Year's resolution that will be easy to keep, I'd like to propose one that's both slightly out of the ordinary and very rewarding. Make 2013 the year of the worm!
At this time of year, we sing of holly and decorate with it in our homes. It is firmly tied in our minds to Christmas, but have you ever wondered why?
My holiday decorations often involve lots of evergreens. I use pine boughs and boxwood garlands, juniper wreaths and holly sprigs to spruce up our winter festivities.
Do you have a gardener in your house that seems to already have every plant book and garden tool imaginable? You may be struggling with just the right gift idea that hasn’t been done before.
I'll admit that I've never been a big fan of houseplants, mostly because they often wind up with mealy bugs or spider mites. I just can't manage to give them the TLC they require during the summer months, when I'd much prefer to be in the vegetable garden.
The snow has come here in Ohio, along with cold weather. It is definitely time to greet a real change of the seasons outside, while inside we must respond to the change of seasons in the kitchen.
