Merry Christmas guys! Here in AL, we were a balmy 76 degrees today! Needing a bit of fresh air, I decided to head outside to check on my violas and snapdragons. I noticed that a few of the snapdragons and violas were wilted and dying. I'm wondering if maybe a cold snap got them? The...
I figured I should stop interrupting @Nyboy's post and create a thread of my own, lol. So here's little Annie and Stripe. they went for their first swim today! We still have no idea why Stripe's coloring is so different, but he's started growing feathers! YAY! Today, they went for their...
Trying to propagate this lovely Spiraea that was my Grandmother's. Where do I cut to make the cuttings? Hardwood? Semi hardwood? Softwood? I'm so confused!
Hey guys!
I need yall's help. My grandmother's old home place is going for sale. Today, the family gathered to divide her belongings...other than a few pots, all i cared about was her beautiful garden...it was her pride and joy for as long as i can remember...she was a lifelong lover of...

I would love to propagate this as I know it looks amazing planted...
Last fall, when my Gerberas were about to get taken by the frost, I noticed they were seeding.. So my daughter and I put some in a ziploc bag and misted them with water. In a little over a week, we had sprouts and transplanted them into some potting soil. I took them to my dad's "greenhouse"...
Ok, now that I'm sure I have a flower bed full of weeds sprouting rather than petunias, I've hoed out my beds and am trying to decide what to plant. I'm an extremely busy nursing student, wife and mom of 3 littles, and graduation is in MAY! Hooray! With that being said, I was thinking of...
Hi all! Thanks for accepting me into the group! Let me fill you in on what I have going on... I live in North/Central Alabama, pretty much right on the border of zone 7-8.. The weather here has been in the 60's and 70's lately, so of course I wanted to get out and tidy up around the house...
