A Book review- Botany for Gardeners
From the time we are toddlers, we absorb and bury snatches of info about the lives of plants. Over time our brains lose track of the some of the nitches where that info is stored. Often information from two different sources is conflicting. Very often the knowledge is spotty, and is not organized well for good understanding. However with a book like Brian Capon's <i>Botany for Gardeners</i> we can gain a complete and accurate picture of the world of plant science and gain the power to move our gardening to another level. Written for the layman, an excellent volume for both the beginner and the passionate enthusiast, this book is a very readable text that will enhance your appreciation of your gardening experience.

Cutting and Pinching, part 1
This article explains the physiological changes taking place inside plants when cuttings are made. The article centers on two hormones: Auxins and Cytokinins. Auxins, the same hormones, which are responsible for plants bending towards the light, can also be an important help in producing top quality bedding plants. Cytokinins are created in response to Auxins and together they balance the growth of a normal healthy plant, but Cytokinins will also allow broken plant parts to regenerate roots – the principle behind all vegetative plant propagation today. Knowing how these hormones work together inside the plant can help us perfect our techniques so make sure you read this article before cutting and pinching.

Growing From Seed
Most real seedaholics have pretty much finished sowing perennial and woody plant seeds until late summer begins the process again. However, I'm always off sinc. I tend to do things when I have the time, not when I'm "supposed" to. As seed is on my mind, I thought some of you may be wondering how to go about growing plants this way. It's a great way to have large numbers of the same plant for making swathes and drifts or sharing with friends. It's also about the only way you can actually get your hands on some plants; those that are rare or slow and are not to be found in nursery catalogs
