Gardener: Seek your garden knowledge close to home soil

It seems like I “Google” something nearly every day. I can barely remember what life was like before the information superhighway. For subjects like gardening, however, information from your own neck of the woods is the best.

The Mountain Gardener: Having a garden journal pays dividends

I plan to turn over a new leaf next year. I'm talking about gardening. The rest of my New Year's resolutions are too numerous to list here! I wish I could tell you that I'll never put in another plant that might freeze during the winter. I wish I could tell you that I'll really start that compost pile this year and duke it out with the raccoons. I wish I could tell you I'll make more garden journal entries and not rely on sketchy memories. But the reality is gardening shouldn't be so much about regrets. It's about the delight we get from coaxing plants from the earth. A garden reflects our lives; there’s always room for growth as well as reflection.
