Pasta Primavera! It uses up all those little odds and ends from the garden, the sauce is great with lots of garlic, and it's not too heavy for a...
With that much space, ignore the "two varieties" suggestion I made. Go ahead and plant what you will!
Carolyn, you can have roses! Cheryl is near Houston, the city that invented humidity. Try the original Knock-out roses. Not the ones that have...
Great photo of a beautiful bird! The "fuzziness" just adds to the artistic aspect. Is this one of your moveable dandelions?
Mealy Blue Sage (salvia farinacea)--plant it and forget it! It spreads, doesn't require dead-heading, isn't thirsty, and the bees love it. In the...
Is it algae or is it mold? If it's mold, mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with two cups of water, and mist the surface. I do this to prevent damping...
In a six-foot area, about two varieties is all that you can manage. Ground covers tend to really cover! Ajuga (Ajuga reptans) takes shade and...

Your type of dandelions are much, much better than ours!
Welcome to the forum, and welcome back to gardening! Crop rotation in a vegetable garden isn't terribly important. It's nice to be able to rotate...

All those seedlings, all those cuttings and you call yourself an AMATEUR? You are going to be such a valuable addition to this forum. Tell us...
Disclaimer! :) I don't have children, nor grandchildren, but I have a lot of experience with other folk's children (and for the most part, the...
Frank, you've done again! Such a good idea, the "mini-view". Thanks for making the website even more user friendly.
Well Cheryl, you got plants, an angel, a future trade, and a new gardening friend. I'd say that was a very good stop you made!
Cheryl, what you have there is a true antique rose! I'd bet they are Old Blush, except OB reblooms. Did you know that all roses are "imported"...
