Kids can embellish an apron for the special gardeners in their lives with the myriad of craft resources available, like finger paints, permanent markers, tie-dye, iron-on patches, or transfer pictures.The aprons are good throughout the planting, growing,...

I find baby toads in everything and have had several surprise--up close and personal--meetings. The miniature garden hobby is a rapidly growing subculture among garden enthusiasts.

Many of the forums are open to everyone, but you'll only be able to see the first post on some of my links; even that peek will give you a good idea of what you are missing. It is hard to believe that under two feet of snow is my vibrant, beautiful garden...

There is hope that people will once again take the advice of the World War Two War Department and plant a garden to feed themselves and their families. Finding the old photo and hearing my grandfather's sweet memories of the victory garden and the brothers...

Many of these offenders have no previous gardening experience; so this becomes a learning experience for them also.You can tell the pride these folks take in their work, the well tended beds and the immaculate walkways are examples for all to strive for.Many...

Cast iron is a great conductor of heat, so I was especially particular where I placed the it.My little water garden is quite attractive and I'm quite happy with my choices. In the next week or so, I'll probably add another plant or two to reduce the amount...

I estimate the garden is about 2 acres in size are divided in plots that are about 20X10 feet in size. The reason being no one in this garden speaks English. This community garden is located in Wayne, Michigan about 15 miles west of Detroit.

Founded by 3 Dominican Nuns to teach low income inner city families to grow their own food. This left behind many homes which fell into disrepair and eventually had to be torn down.

All of the most beautiful parts should be able to be seen from your place. Five and seven are also asymmetrical numbers that would be pleasant. The tools and materials are simple, but design and placement are important considerations.This principle is...

An area is set aside just for kids to grow tend and harvest vegetables just like the grownups.A garden like this is an excellent example where you can still have a “wild” area among the urban sprawl.

We were walking in the woods one day and there was this beautiful, hollow log. It had a drain so water could escape if it rained too hard. They can also be planted. We had placed it in semi-shade so she had planted a few shade loving vines.

Growing vegetables from seed never scared me, but flowers? (It's a lot cheaper too!)7. Some kind of weird tree is growing out of the pile now too. It's now December and I still haven't made them, although my beautiful variegated Basil ‘Pesto Perpetual'...

The most expensive item in the whole project was the bag of potting mix. A few of these keep just enough moisture near the roots during the blistering summer heat and the plants stay healthier.A bit more potting mix on top of the crystals, finish filling...

Mound up more soil/compost mix, but do not to cover the leaves. Look for a pallet that has HT stamped somewhere on the pallet. As the potatoes continue growing, continue adding soil-compost mix until you reach the top of the container.After about 10 weeks...

It is a wonderful example of color that can be included in a garden with materials other than plants. During my visit today with my good friend Beth, I decided to focus on garden structures and art.

It was a great success despite the late tomato blight, so this year I wanted a more structurally sound arched trellis and the cattle panels were the perfect size, sturdy and easy to manage!

This special monthly positioning causes the human shadow to fall more closely on the appropriate hour mark in "solar time."But, what about Daylight Savings Time (DST)? The interactive analemmatic "human" sun clock is the focus for my needs, but others...

Next year I'll plant seeds. Now is the time to contemplate the past season to determine what went right, what went wrong, and what needs to be different next year. Gaillardia attracts butterflies.

If this is an issue for you, then you might want to add a sign to your yard stating that the figures are not for sale.If you have a storage unit just for your out-of-season garden art, then you just might have too much!If you take things in and out of...

The Children's Garden is also located here. The path winds through the prairie to a circular plaza with a statuary group representing the sacrifices of the military. There are camping and picnic areas, and the museum also sponsors occasional historical...

I enjoy hearing from my readers!All images are courtesy of Wikimedia unless otherwise indicated. I've arranged them in categories, with each category representing some basic aspect of gardening.Questions?

Please scroll down to the form below. What is a "no-wa-wa" fountain? The term "no-wa-wa", perhaps a tad cutesy, originated several decades ago in a contest by Steve Gander, a local Iowa boy, who grew up to become one of the top rodeo event promoters in...

That doesn't stop the birds from singing and the grass from greening, or me from putting it all into words. Spring can start slow here, snow lingers and the wind blows chill sometimes well into May.

(Don't we all wish we had one of those staffs?) A suspicious local woman was convinced that such a feat could only be performed by sorcery. Exclusion of women, however, was the rule rather than the exception in monasteries of the time.As word of Fiacre's...

That is atender new growth. I will cut out any branches not showing green shoots. I take my cutters and snip off the old dead stalks. Take your time, stop occasionally and breathe in the fresh clean air, enjoy the feeling of the sun's warmth on your face.

I planted yellow onion sets in April and by the end of July they were already grown. But we, as city people, wouldn't have wanted it anyway because we were too much used with civilization.
