Those Annoying Plants
We have them every year despite our best efforts—weeds. Those irritating plants that get in the way and overtake the life of the plants we really want to cultivate. If we let them, they can take over and slay the garden we want. How do we stay on top of these so that they won’t overwhelm the precious shrubs we are trying to protect?

Learn whether or not the pesticides are worth the risk to your garden. Learn to decide whether or not to use pesticides. Learn the benefits and costs of pesticides.
Some Things You Can’t Control
It’s supposed to be springtime and the temperature plunges dramatically. Fall decides to pull a summer phase. That snow just couldn’t stay on the ground. The lovely and unpredictable thing we can weather is perhaps the greatest threat to the garden, because after all, we still can’t control the weather. Learn what you can do to help your garden when the weather takes a turn for the worse.
