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...
When we figure out why many garden events occur, much of the magic and wonder will be gone. We have a resident frog on the patio. Heaven knows...
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"...
How long have they been in the garden? Broccoli sets a lot of leaves, then gets a tiny head in the center, which grows to an edible size. It takes...
Margie, the easiest raised bed we made was roughly kidney-shaped and with a trench about 4" wide and 6" deep around it as a weed/grass barrier....

A friend of ours has trouble growing squash. The plants do fine, set blossoms and little squash, and then the 1"-2" squash fall off the plant. I...
Zinnia, If you will look on the Rose forum, second page, there is a posting "Taking a rose cutting" on which I gave detailed, explicit, and...
