Hunkering down like Minnesotans in a snowstorm might be the way to go for gardening in our torrid summers.
Gardeners aren’t farmers; one way to avoid suffering during our long dry spells, insufferable humidity and all-night heat is to garden in the opposite season of how we were raised.
Entitlements are nothing new to the world. People back in Old Testament times thought they were entitled people because of who they were or what the Lord had promised them.
Those who have spent a good deal of time gardening know the importance of Sevin.
For years when someone mentioned Sevin as a product, many recognized it as having carbaryl in it.
This product was first introduced commercially around the mid 1950's and became a very appealing product over the next 50 plus years.
As we drive along the interstates or highways something that we are always going to have are guardrails along the side of the road. These are put there for protection and to keep us from veering off the road into a danger zone which could cost us physical or mental harm or our life.
In most of gardening, some things are more practical than other more subtle pleasures.
That said, it may be time to put a bounce in your swing.
Having bird feeders around your property can be a huge reward and an afternoon conversation piece.
A few weeks ago we talked about feeding hummingbirds but did not mention other species that many homeowners love to watch.
Summer is definitely here. Kids are out of school and vacations are being planned. Even though some were able to use Memorial Day weekend as a mini-vacation, most are awaiting that much needed time away. Here are a few tips for those gardeners that hate to leave their lawns and gardens for a week only to return to more work.
What better way to improve the aesthetic atmosphere around your home than to add a splash of summer long color and in turn be a home to beautiful butterflies.
There have been more than 700 species of butterflies found in North America and over 30 of those are common in Mississippi.
I often wonder how many of our younger generation really understand what Memorial Day really stands for. Our veterans are why we have the freedoms we enjoy today. They are the ones who put their lives in harm’s way so that we can enjoy life as a free nation and not have a dictatorial rule.
Do you remember the first time someone showed you something in the garden, and explained it to you?
