When my grandmother passed away 10 years ago, I became the proud owner of her favorite birdbath. It sits in the center of the perennial garden right next to our front steps.
Artillery fungus is causing a lot of problems for us this year. It's an organism that breaks down wood and is commonly found across the United States, including in landscape mulch.
I am thrilled to pieces that the vegetable garden is fully planted! I've been chiseling away at it for the past several weeks, and yesterday I finally hammered in the last of the tomato stakes.
If you’re facing growing problems, the first place to turn is your soil. A number of soil problems can throw your garden off balance, but there’s no shortage of amendments to set things right.
I was so excited to find one of my favorite native shrubs this spring at a local nonprofit's plant sale. Needless to say, I bought one and it is already at home in one of my perennial borders.
You might recall that last year I ran a little experiment in my tomato patch. I grew 12 different tomato plants and separated them into four groups of three plants. Each group received a different organic fertilizer (or none at all) throughout the growing season.
I always make it a point to try something new in my garden every year. Although it usually means I'm going to grow some new variety of radish or a veggie I haven't grown before (like peanuts or salsify), this year the "new" item in my garden is going to be grafted tomatoes and grafted eggplants.
Infuse oil with your favorite herbs using one of these three methods.
Prevent disease-causing funguses that could be killing your tomato crop from spreading across your garden.
I was out working in the yard the other day and I noticed some funky growths on the small spruce tree we planted a few years ago.
Grow beautiful blossoms that attract bees and butterflies as well as add color and flavor to your favorite meal.
There is so much to do this time of year! I've been busy mulching all my beds and planting more spring crops. The first planting of radish and lettuce are already up, and I'll probably have radish ready for harvest in another week or so—but I have a problem.
