Gardening

Welcome, fellow plant lovers!
This section is packed with practical advice for growing flowers, herbs, vegetables, and lawns—plus a few tried-and-true strategies for dealing with weeds and pesky critters. Most of what you’ll find here is geared toward four-season, cold-climate gardens.
With a background in plant biology, ecology, and botany and over 50 years of hands-on experience, I’ve learned to work with the land, not fight it.
I garden organically, rely on seeds to keep things budget-friendly, and focus on what thrives naturally.
As Beth Chatto wisely said, “The right plant for the right place.” That principle guides everything I grow—and everything I share here.
Let’s get growing.
