    The Pros And Cons Of Deadheading

    I tend to agree, it’s not a big priority. However, I have one plant that loves it. My ferns do so much better after deadheading! I leave the old growth on over the winter, as a sort of mulch. Come spring, I cut them right down to the base, everything goes but any new growth is left. Within a...

    What's the weather in your area? 2022 Edition

    Spring in Seattle so as usual, the weather can't make up its mind. Sounds like the weekend is going to be partly to mostly cloudy, but little to no rain. That's not too bad I suppose.

    Geraniums. Rather common, and maybe even a bit boring, but they look great in decorative planter boxes, lots of bright color and easy to care for, so I bought some recently.

    Ok, we seem to be lacking volunteers... So, how about “Things you’re planting this month”? Or, to keep it easy “things you could plant this month”, so that you could play a word even if you’re not actually planting that particular plant.

    Arbor Build

    Either way will work, and which you choose will depend on the situation. If you’re building one from a kit, it may be easier to assemble it at your work area and then move it into place when you’re done. That way you could work on sawhorses at a convenient level and close to your tools etc. This...

    Top 10 Plants For Bees

    Thank you! Getting that shot was a lot of work. Finding a bee was easy, they love the stuff. But getting him in focus while keeping the background soft was a real challenge. Lots of "close but no cigar" shots before I had one with the sharpness I wanted.

    Tree Growing

    As Ron mentions, there are a lot of options. Said kindly, I would suggest that you not make "what grows the fastest" the top priority. Here in Washington state, we have cottonwoods. They're essentially gigantic weeds. They do grow fast. They're also not overly strong, and frequently blow down in...
