Mailorder Nurseries Online and Off, Part 1 - Plant Delights
It's that time of year again. The time when the bleakness outside our windows is transformed, in our mind's eye, by the luscious photographs of plants and mouth watering descriptions in the mailorder nursery catalogs arriving at our doors. This is a perilous time for the confirmed plantaholic, when greed and lust war with whatever common sense we can muster as we mark plants we just simply must have for our gardens. Plant Delights is one of my favorites, let me tell you about it.

Mailorder Nurseries Online and Off, Part 4 -Naylor Creek Nursery
Before the net, if you ran across a new mailorder nursery that sounded interesting, there were only two ways to find out if they were worth ordering from. Either one of your gardening buddies had experience with them or you just took a chance and sent in your order. Not any more - at least for those of us who garden on and off line. A post on an email list led me to Naylor Creek Nursery. I knew I had to share this one with you all. Anybody with a shady garden has got to see this list! <b>Warning!</b> There are lots of photos, so please be patient if they're slow to load for you

Online Nurseries - Part 1
More and more mailorder nurseries are coming online. This is great for us because we can at least see what they have to offer, even if we can't buy it online -- and we can on several of them. Just who is out there on the wild world web? It's hard to find out because most of the nursery sites are not well indexed by the major search engines. I've surfed a lot of them; some with an excellent web presence, some mediocre and some that shouldn't be taking up the band width. This series reviews some of the best and the worst.

Online Nurseries 2002 - Garden Vision
In January, Darrell Probst, owner of Garden Vision Nursery, spoke at the North American Rock Garden Society's Eastern Winter Study Weekend. It was my very great pleasure to be part of that audience and learn about the Epimediums he has discovered on his trips to China, Japan and South Korea. It is also my very great pleasure to feature his nursery as the first of my 2002 Online Nursery series. I have so many images to share with you, that I will break this article into two sections so that each page has a chance of loading in your lifetime.

Clearing Woods - Ferns and Other Forbs - Part 2
At ground level in my USDA zone 7 woodland, live the forbs. I started clearing in July, so any early spring residents may well have retired underground by then. Those visible were, with one exception, exotic rampant weeds.

Planting Under Trees - Part 4
Last week, in this series devoted to planting in that inhospitable environment under mature deciduous trees, I talked about some tough groundcovers that grow well with little effort on your part.

Hot, Hot, Hot Garden
Is it hot enough for you, yet? It certainly is for me! Like my plants, I droop when the temperatures soar. Gardening tasks are done in slow motion, if done at all...plenty of time to contemplate the weather and its effect on plants and the gardener.
