Consideration of neighbors, community, is part of gardening
I have a neighbor who has planted morning glory at the property line between our side yards. It covers the fence, comes into my garden, covers trees, shrubs, my roses. Just as she likes morning glories, I have preferences for my garden also, and morning glory is not in my plan. I cannot keep up with it, and have spoken to her several times about controlling it without results. In fact, she went and planted wisteria right along side the morning glories. The wisteria grew in the lattice and… Continue

I love bargains!
Just went to the large garden center today for 'cool-weather' plants. I was looking for the pink wax begonias that grow so beautifully for me, especially in containers. I know you northerners are shaking your heads but I've have kept these blooming through most of our winters better than our hot summers. I only saw red ones, which I don't care for, until I couldn't resist the bargain area.
I was so surprised to see landscaper's flats of 18 plants, usually $10, about 5-8" tall, a bit…
