Most plants are best moved during dormancy but just before new growth begins. Some plants, like iris, have two periods of dormancy each year –– For them, one is in the heat of Summer, the other is during the depths of Winter cold and for a short time following. Pamper them after the move. Steve

I finished my 1 week ± test of the Mojito Mint in the mix with stevia, licorice root and orange zest. I was surprised how tasty it was. No, with the orange in the blend, I couldn't taste any citrus flavor 🍊in the mint. There was a subtle difference from Spearmint. It would be a preferred choice...

And this week, FlowerBug, I am caught up in nostalgia . This is a picture that I might have taken in 2018-9 when I was visiting Dad's home almost weekly. I found it on the internet but it must be taken from nearly exactly in front of his driveway. The hill is in Washington State and a part of...
