Last week, I got one of the best Christmas presents I could have asked for. I had lunch with three of my longest-running gardening friends. We spent three hours playing catch-up with one another, laughing hysterically and probably driving the waiter nuts with our complete lack of focus.
Nut trees can be a nutritious and delicious way to improve your diet, an easy source of income, and a valuable farm legacy for your children and grandchildren.
Jackpot! A gardening friend sent me an email a few days ago to let me know she had a grow-light system that was currently homeless. Did I want it? Of course I did!
While I was out in the garden, I came across something very interesting that I learned about while researching my book, Good Bug, Bad Bug, but I never had the opportunity to see in my own garden.
While my folks were here for the turkey celebration, we hit up a few of our favorite local garden centers in hopes of finding some good holiday bargains.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! It might sound a bit cliché, but it really is the perfect time of year to count our blessings and give thanks for what matters to us.
Well, I finally got around to digging the rest of the potatoes, and I managed to find another 5-gallon bucket full of them.
We finally got a few hard frosts last week. Funny how it always seems to happen just after my pineapple sage starts to flower.
I can’t believe how many things I still have blooming in the garden—the most beautiful of which are my Venus mums.
Garlic! I’m strangely excited by the idea introduced to me by a gardening friend: He says to plant your garlic bulbs "under the dark of the moon.”
Bring butterflies to your garden by giving them access to puddles.
Decision made. I am not going to plant a cover crop in the vegetable garden this year.
