I am a long-time vegetable gardener who starts her plants from seeds. But for the vegetables I normally grow, I never had seeds that needed to be surface sowed.
Spring is springing! In a month it will be officially spring! The cherry, prunes, and pluots are all in agreement it's happening soon. In anticipation of spring, I planted 2 bare root trees, a dwarf peach and a persimmon.
Spring has officially arrived, and I am ready for gardening! I always get excited to see my seeds sprout and I enjoy giving them the tender loving care they need to establish resilient roots for later planting.
On the corner of my property sits a mature Aloe arborescens, commonly known as a Candelabra Aloe, or Torch Aloe.[1] Aloe arborescens is a species of flowering succulent perennial plants belonging to the genus Aloe, (yes the same one as Aloe vera!) and is a South African native.
When is a rose not a rose? When it is the Lenten Rose. Technically it is Helleborus x hybridus. The cup-shaped, nodding flower is thought to resemble a rose. It earned the rest of its name from when it blooms late winter until late spring, surrounding the season of Lent.
