Ride the (F2) Wave
One of the nicest and best performing seed grown petunias is the Wave Petunia. Started in 1985 with the now famous "purple Wave", the petunia is today available in 6 colors and several new related varieties, too. This plant is very easy to start from seed, and produce offspring (F2 hybrids) which are equally as good as the parent plants. Learn how to harvest, store, and grow your own F2 hybrid Wave Petunias this year. The savings can be quite substantial when you consider the prices being charged for the original F1 Wave Petunia seeds today.

Tulip Shopping List
Tulips are without doubt among the most popular garden flowers due to their easy care and huge impression in the spring garden when little else is in flower. Since it is clearly not always easy to go shopping for tulips due to the huge availability, I have suggested a shopping list with some choices which have performed well for me. The shopping list includes only readily available tulips which provide for a long flowering period, which perennialize well (comes back), and which simply look fantastic. Included in the article is also information on vernalization (cooling), planting and care, and tulip bed design using only tulips from the shopping list.

Learning to Garden Again: Warring with Weeds
What does one do when you have 14 distinct and fairly large garden spots, acres of weeds - and a strict threat from the medical people that spending more than 30 minutes a day in the garden may have harmful consequences? It takes some ingenuity, persistence - and a new way of seeing the garden. But there is still joy to be found out there in the slightly wilder garden that is now mine to tend.
