From Ashes to Bloom

Recycling is good for the environment...and it's great for plants, too. In fact, did you know that recycled ashes are a great source of nutrients for plants? So don't toss away the ashes at the bottom of your fireplace. Instead, after enjoying a warm winter fire, collect the ashes and store...

Turn Their Bath Into A Dining Room

Instead of having an empty or frozen-over birdbath just sitting in your yard this winter, fill it with bird seed, colorful Indian corn and red pepper berries. It makes a colorful outdoor centerpiece that attracts wildlife to your yard. And to help fatten up the critters for the long winter...

Bulb Do's and Don'ts

Some simple things to remember about bulbs: ALWAYS plant bulbs in borders or beds with good drainage. Planting bulbs in well-drained soil is vital and the most important instruction we can give you. DO NOT use any strong commercial fertilizer or fresh manure when planting bulbs. ALWAYS cut as...

Brighten Up Beds With Mums

Chrysanthemums are a mainstay for color in the fall garden. Buy plants with unopened flower buds. Mums in full bloom may not produce additional flowers this fall. Plant in a sunny to partly sunny location and keep well watered. Deadhead regularly, and when all of the flowers have faded cut the...

Contain Your Fall Plants

There’s still time for some fall planting, even if you’re just considering a container garden. If you plan on using a container it is important to select containers of adequate size for the plants you plan on growing (check with the plant experts in the store for the right size), and make sure...

Bush Babying

Though shrubs are fairly hardy, low-maintenance plants, they're not immune to scorching weather so keep an eye on them during August's dry heat. Here's an easy rule of thumb: Anytime a week passes without rain, drench each shrub with three gallons of water, making sure to spray the branches in...

Getting soaked

Tired of standing around, spending your valuable time just watering your garden? Then look into "soaker" hoses. Specially designed to deliver a slow trickle of water to every plant along the length of the hose, soakers are perfect for shrubbery and vegetable or flower gardens. Just lay the...

Thoughtful Watering

Unseasonably hot weather can make your flowers and vegetable plants start to look peaked. Although rainfall does help, you should remember to water thoughtfully. To determine if you have watered sufficiently, dig down into the soil to see if more moisture is needed. Dig down with a trowel blade...

Cut a healthy lawn

Now that you're mowing the lawn about once a week it's important that you're also making sure it will be healthy for your weekly meeting. Here are a few tips to make sure it's in tip-top shape: Have your lawn mower blades sharpened before the mowing season begins (Did you?) and check them...

Gardening By the Numbers

We live in a world of numbers. Most we understand, others we don’t, like those three numbers on plant fertilizer. They will tell you everything you need to know but only if you can break the secret code. First, they represent nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium in that order and how much of...

It's A Dirty Job But Someone's Got To Do It

Any gardener knows that weeding and planting is dirty work. So make your work a little cleaner by spritzing cooking spray on your hoe, shovel and other gardening tools before you go to work. This prevents soil from sticking to them and makes your gardening and cleanup go much easier!

Dealing With Daffodils

Though daffodils fall within the narcissus botanical family, the bulbs' flowers can seem homely once their spring bloom has passed. Do yourself a favor, though, and leave the foliage be. Like all bulbs, daffodils feed off the leaves, so removing the withered bloom too early guarantees a meager...

Is It Time To Fertilize?

Once the early signs of spring arrive, rake the leaves and debris off your lawn and check it for signs of new growth. Most grass carries a bit of green color through the winter. But when you start to see a bit more green apply a fertilizer to help the lawn grow faster. Be sure not to exceed the...

Put Your Seeds On A Light Diet

To get a jump on this season's flowers, plants, and veggies, start seeds indoors before transplanting outside. But you don't need to buy a special growing light... an ordinary florescent light fixture works well for growing seedlings. The florescent lights (often seen in hardware stores and...

For The Birds

Ahh spring, when a birds' attention turns towards mating. Which means nesting and, if you supply an attractive site for them, you'll end up with a backyard brood that provides constant entertainment. There's plenty of room for creativity in the design of a birdhouse, from pseudo-Victorian...

Extending Valentine's Day

Don't just toss away that beautiful bouquet that meant so much to you. Keep it around as a romantic reminder forever. It's easy to preserve flowers with little or no expense: For simple bouquets of smaller blooms, just trim the lower leaves from the stem and hang the flowers upside down for a...

Snack-Time For the Birds

Different sized bird feeders are created for different sized birds. Makes complete sense but it's more important than you would think. Larger birds, such as cardinals and mourning doves, tend to feed on hopper-type feeders that release food onto a tray where they can land. Triangular tube...

Mini Trees Make A Big Impact

Not every Christmas tree has to be big enough to put gifts under. Some trees may be quite diminutive, but can still be quite charming. Like the European-style mini Christmas tree or the mini Alberta spruce that can be used to decorate windowsills and outdoor pots. These portable trees can help...
