I have had my raised vegetable bed for about 8 years. Every year, I plant about 4-5 tomato plants, 2 pepper plants, broccoli and several varieties of herbs. Last year, I tried cantaloupe and watermelon; that was interesting. I am hardly an experienced gardener though. Every year, I just walk into the garden store, and […]

We have a long empty flower bed that would cost me a fortune to fill with store bought plants. I have a lot of echinacea and black eyed susans that need divided and fall is a great time to divide certain perennials. If you divide in the fall, you should do it 6-8 weeks before […]

Beware: Attack of the killer yews… We bought our house from an older couple who decided to downsize into a smaller home. They were the original homeowners of the house that was built in 1969. They took very good care of the house and just a few years before we bought it from them they […]
