We happily anticipate the seed and gardening catalogues arriving in our mailboxes! We plan and design, and order seeds and plants... and know that this is the year our garden will be the envy of the entire neighborhood! As long as the mildew stays off of the beebalm and phlox, and the blackspot avoids the roses; as long as the squash vine borers forget where the squash is growing...well maybe...just maybe..this is the year. Fear not though, when troubles arise in your gardens or turf, just visit this site and hopefully you will find answers and solutions to whatever nature sends your way this year.
