Okay, I admit it, I’m a seed miser when it comes to my packets. I just looked in my collection and found several of them mostly untouched dating back to 2011. Some may germinate, but I’m not betting the garden…
Is it time to garden yet? The outside says no, but the calendar says now. Not outdoors – I tried – the shovel won’t break through the mulch unless I use a blowtorch, but I won’t go to those extremes.…
Keep a journal filled with your own garden musings, writings, observations and sketches. On each page is a quote about gardens and gardening, giving you something to ponder as you exercise your green thumbs writing about your own adventures in horticulture. It’s…

Had a very small garden this year, mostly in containers. The tomatoes and cucumbers did okay in the “Earth Box” made from a Rubbermaid Roughneck 18 gallon container, and the potatoes were an interesting experiment. I had taken a 50…
