Not Too Late To Plant

Where did the time go? You were so eager to get started in the garden then suddenly it’s June. That well-planned garden (painstakingly planned during the dreary winter months) was only partially accomplished. Life just kind of got in the way – graduation parties to plan, Mother’s Day, school events, soccer games, waterlogged soil. Here’s

Create A Petunia Tree

By
If you do not want to have an in-ground flower bed or you do not have a suitable place in your yard to put one, you might adopt an idea that I have seen several times in yards and public places in the past few years. For lack of a better name, I call the

Try These Annuals

By
What could be more satisfying than a flourishing sunny garden? However, not all plants enjoy full-sun locations and many prefer cool, shady areas. If you’re planning to grow a sunny garden, examine the conditions your plants will be growing in. Is the garden exposed to full sun most of the day, or will the plants

Wildflowers For The Home Garden

By
Wildflowers are one of Mother Nature’s loveliest gifts. In the home landscape they are ideal for creating colourful beds and borders, as well as offering a lower-maintenance alternative for large areas or for replacing turf grass.

Many Varieties And Colours To Accent The Garden

By
I am not a great fan of all the bedding plants, potted individually, which are now sold to gardeners during the spring.

Garden Hideaways

Children love to play and hide in “secret” places and a sense of thrill accompanies creating a fort from scratch.

The National Sunflower Association of Canada is upping its agronomy game with the addition of a new staff agronomist. Even though Ed Stroeder, who’s based in Gladstone, is barely a month into his new job, he was front and centre this week at the Manitoba Crop Symposium.

Success With Streptocarpella

By
Many gardeners overwinter plants from their outdoor gardens with the hope of using them outdoors again the following summer. Most of us have boxes of bulbs and tubers tucked away in cool, dark spots for the winter, pots of bulbs kept dormant, as well as several parent plants we attempt to keep alive on windowsills

A Bit Of Hawaii In Manitoba

By
One of my favourite houseplants is the hibiscus; it is a large plant – a shrub actually – and in its natural tropical environment the hibiscus can reach heights of several metres. We saw lots of beautiful hibiscus in Maui last winter while on a holiday there and it is the state flower of Hawaii.
