It's summer! Things are planted and blooming, you want to be outside in the nice weather, and you're keeping up proper watering practices, of course. So proper, in fact, that some plants have gone a little crazy and need pruning!
Summer Pruning Tips
We can find lichens almost everywhere, especially in winter when there are fewer botanical details to compete for our attention. They can grow so thick as to nearly cover tree bark, and they can be pretty weird-looking. So it might be easy to assume they are not very friendly to garden plants. Actually, they are beneficial — and amazing!
Plants for Each Season
Early-blooming plants help brighten the gray, rainy days and remind us that warmer days are on the way. Here are a few of our favorites for winter and early spring.
Container Gardening
Colorful spring containers celebrate the start of the gardening season and creating them is fun and easy if you know which plants to choose. Look for these great gems to create a new spring container or refresh an existing pot.
Edible Gardening
Starting seeds indoors gives your vegetables, herbs, and flowers a head start so they can grow larger and have better (and longer) harvests or flowering periods. With a few basic supplies and a little patience, it’s easy and fun to start seeds indoors. As everyone knows, a little tending is good for the soul!
