Garden

  • Maintenance essential for drip irrigation
    Murphy’s law prevails, so don’t assume last year’s drip system is ready for your spring garden. Devoting just an hour to checking its components before you plant can ensure this year’s crop is better than ever.
  • Seasons change: Going from spring fever to spring frenzy
    the malaise characterized by a painful longing for milder weather, leafy plants and flowers – is gone, thanks to the seasonal sensory pleasures we are now seeing, feeling, smelling and even tasting.
  • Create garden that heightens senses
    The silky petals of a fragrant pink shrub rose; the crunchy texture of a gravel path; a nook where grass rustles and a stream runs. What we smell, see, hear, touch and taste can make a garden walk a wonderful sensory experience.

Summer color

For quick, effective and beautiful summer coverage of garden arbors, fences and arches that will last into October, sow seeds of a fast-growing legume named purple hyacinth bean.

Soak the seeds overnight in tepid water for rapid germination. The vine has attractive white and purple flowers and deep purple seed pods.
