• Molly Brown of a Clematis

  I just wanted to give some 'props' to this sweet girl. I believe she's a Claire de Lune. I planted her 4 years ago. Knew nothing about gardening, didn't even have a garden fork. Used an eating fork to scratch some dirt aside and planted her in a 4" hole.… More

• Before and Now

• The Small Roto tillers. My Experience 2006

• Can St. Augustine be overseeded with Bahia?
