We have owned our house for over 12 years and for all those years this area has looked just like this.  We believe at one point there use to be a rock garden there, see the big rock?  Now it just gets mowed around and looks horrible, is the attempt at making it a rock garden worth it?  Do people even have rock gardens anymore?

My husband decided late in the Spring to start a garden last year. I told him it would be all him since I kill air ferns (who knew they needed water too, I thought they just needed air!) However, I felt horrible guilty when the garden began to reap a harvest and I had nothing to do with it but make the salads and/or cook the vegetables. They were delicious, it saved on our grocery bill and I know

We've had some pretty rough weather so far this summer, causing damage to property and to trees.  I've had to deal with two trees down in my yard already this summer and I'm just waiting for the next one to go.  If you're not sure what to do when this happens to you, check out these helpful tips from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

Spring will eventually be felt in the Northland and St. Louis County wants to make sure you're ready to have an amazing garden this year.

I should really look into volunteering when it comes to gardening.  I might learn something.  I even had an air fern that died in my house.  HOW does THAT happen?  Don't they only need air?  The University of Wisconsin Extension Program is looking for volunteers to help with their Catlin Green Garden Prep Day, can you lend some time and talents?

Water adds so much to a garden. And while ponds and pools are nice, the trickle and splash of an active fountain breathes fresh air and even a bit of a mystical quality into your garden oasis. When it comes to choosing or building a fountain for your garden, there are many options available to you. Some of these options can be quite complex (if you so desire), but they don’t have to be.

It's spring!  We're starting to see buds on the trees and the grass is greening up (our neighbor has mowed his lawn twice already....he's retired).  But, with the sure signs of summer around the corner also comes weeds!  With the weeds, questions.  How do I get rid of them?  Will they come back?  How long until it's safe for my pets to walk on the lawn again?!?!  If you use this inexpensive conco
