New Year’s Gardening Resolution?
Monday, December 28, 2009
Do you make resolutions for the following year…and keep them? [I don't either.]
How about trying only one resolution. Pick a plant you’ve never grown before and decide to grow it in 2010. Maybe your garden club can make a list of what each member wants to grow in 2010 and make it part of your next month’s minutes. Then…next year you can come back to check on who actually did it. Each member might even take a picture of it to show at a meeting…in 2011!
Happy 2010 both in and out of the garden!
Trees are everywhere…

If you look outside, most trees have snow on them. However, if you peak inside many homes you’ll find very colorful trees.
Merry Christmas!

Monday, December 21, 2009
With Christmas a few days away, this is a great time to learn about mistletoe. Eileen Torricelli wrote an article for the Advance called Myths, legends surround mistletoe. It tells you everything you ever wanted to know about mistletoe.
Spring will be here soon…
Friday, December 18, 2009
