Has anyone had success overwintering mums inside and planting them in the spring n the ground? I have read planting in the spring gives them time to establish their roots to...
The trees aren't turning yet but the asters are in full bloom to add some color to the place. These all came from about five or six small plants that a friend dug out of her...
I'm obsessed with growing tomatoes but even before that I was passionate about growing flowers, especially for pollinators. When my wife and I moved to our little farmette...
I've tried on and off over the years to grow breadseed poppies from seed, with no success. This year, seeds of one variety sprouted and then died, and seeds of another...
I remember years ago that marigolds were very smelly. I happen to like their smell, but most varieties I've see at nurseries don't have much. I think it's been bred out of...
This morning when I walked the garden, something seemed missing in one bed. Then I noticed that one of the two surviving Tithonias had collapsed over night! Wow. It had some...
`I haven't been able to find seeds for Kee's African Orange marigold, a large and supposedly very aromatic marigold. So I thought I'd look for someone who is growing it and...
On the floral side of things, I'm kind of liking these Jewels of Opar things. The foliage certainly is bright and now that they're maturing, each plant has a ton of wiry...

It's getting to be camellia time here in Georgia. For those who might not be familiar with Camellias, the sasanquas are the ones with small leaves and up to around 2 flowers....
Hey Friends,
Considering planting daffodils this fall in wood raised beds. Is there anything I should know/do/avoid when growing together with vegetables in same bed?
Thanks,
This is a nice cheerful send off as I get ready to move. Nicely scented, too, especially when the sun is shining and heating things up.
It is a low light plant but seems to...
This house has two patios. Normally, I would have already turned them into jungle retreats, but small humans and one crankier large human have been hampering my efforts :lol:...
I didn't realize that I spent a pretty penny (relative to other flower seeds) on these (2.99 for 25 seeds), but now that they have bloomed I am SO in love. I just scattered...
Does anyone know some tricks to relocating sunflower seedlings? I planted a row of them against a fence last year, they were beautiful! I was hoping they would re-seed for...
