• Hi from Tennessee

  I just recently found this forum and a very nice one it is. I've been member and even manager of garden groups, but for whatever reason, they became rather dead. I've really missed lively garden chat. I'm a Michigan transplant. I moved to TN in 2004 after retiring. I couldn't… More

• Late summer beds looking bleak what to do?

  Anyone else looking at their gardens and finding spots where everything has bloomed and the plants themselves are looking spent? I need some ideas on what to do to keep the beds looking interesting all season long, and although I have wanted to do all perennials, I am coming to… More

• Another Ohio Newbie

  Hi Everyone! Greetings from southwest Ohio! I've been gardening since my granny gave me a pkg. of marigold and zinnia seeds when I was 9 yrs. old. I couldn't believe I grew all those beautiful flowers from just putting a little seed in the ground. I was hooked! We've lived… More

• Sunny South Carolina

  I've already made a few posts, but I haven't formally introduced myself. I guess I got too excited about finding out the name of a shrub that I was highly interested in. Then I remembered to put in my profile. I noticed all the color that I have in the… More

• Snakes take over our outdoor Bird Watching areas

  Hello! My husband and I have several benches, arbors, roofed seats, etc. for birdwatching on our 12 acre, mostly wooded property. It seems whenever we go to relax on one of these places to enjoy our (very slow! LOL) progress in the gardens or to watch birds/wildlife, we receive reptilian… More

• Alyssum

  Does it require a lot of water? I see it used to edge herb gardens. I replaced the grass in my parking strip with thyme, rosemary, catmint, and lavender last spring, but there's still a lot of bare soil. It'd be nice to just sprinkle some alyssum seeds along the… More

• A couple indoor water gardens... fish tanks!

  I thought I'd share photos of my planted fish tanks, since they're most most green things around these parts in the winter! The first is my oldest tank, the pic is a bit old, 3 months because I've had major algae issues and have done massive trims, so it's bare… More

  I love my dogs w/ all my heart, but they have in the past got in my flower gardens. So how do I keep my dogs (as well as other animals) out of my gardens, w/out blocking light w/ fences? The fences I've seen are pretty short, but still too… More
