Garden

  • Fill in gaps
    In glaring gaps in garden beds, sow seeds of zinnias or cosmos, which will germinate and grow into tall flowering annuals by July. Both need full sun.
  • Hanging baskets bring star power to your eye level
    Hanging baskets may be small, but they can really make a garden pop, or add just the right burst of color to an otherwise-drab area. They’re easy-to-plant, portable mini-gardens that let you add color and texture anywhere you need it.
  • Wait to trim
    Wait until after the spring flush of growth before trimming hedge plants such as hornbeams, boxwood, yew and privet.
