There is nothing more pleasing than walking right outside your
kitchen door and finding all the spices you'll need for a tasty
and fresh dinner. How about picking a bit of rosemary for those

flounder you're baking, or pulling some fresh oregano leaves to
add to that spaghetti sauce or snipping some fresh basal for a
tomato, mozzarella cheese and basal salad. The availability of
fresh herbs can add a real kick to your ordinary dishes and ...

weather, for both you and your plants. The scorching heat and
sun of July and August has gone. Plants grown in the fall have
much more ideal weather conditions in which to ...

Like any job you tackle, it's always easier if you have the
right tools. Before heading out to your rose garden, make sure
you arm yourself with these basic rose gardening tools.
Gloves

enjoy feeling the thorns pierce your skin, opt for leather work
gloves with those big, fold-down cuffs.
Pruners
A good pruner is one tool ...

Do you recall your very first plant? Your first garden? Perhaps
it was the geranium seeds you planted in a milk carton or
Styrofoam cup as part of a class project. Perhaps, if you were

back porch where no one would step on them ' and where, with no
sun, they never grew), orange seeds (the ones in the ...
