That’s what my foundation plantings, young trees, and various shrubs are singing to me. And what do they want?

About this time of the year lots of national gardening magazines feature articles on the Winter Garden. In Central MN I usually find my winter display to be under copious amounts of mulch and several feet of snow. But there is hope for the ‘garden-deprived’ in the growing of indoor plants.

It’s our fourth and final post on fall garden work. (Is that a sigh of relief?) After this, it IS over! The big chores remaining to do are to cut down the perennials and cover the beds (remember, shrubs and tricky plants like tree peonies or shrub roses are not to be cut down).

Now that you’re all busy raking and mowing and planting bulbs, take time to read a report from Master Gardener Nancy Kostreba. She works hard choosing and planting bulbs in the fall, but really appreciates when her efforts show some results. This has not been the case lately. What?!! Read on…

Part One: Now and Later

This is the week Summer ends and Fall begins. But take heart; it's not over 'til it's over, there's more to come in the garden!

It's fun! It's free! It's for you! Saturday, September 24, 8 am to 11:45 am at Whitney Senior Center.

I am not much of a vegetable gardener so we have been following the efforts of MG Jacquie Sullivan as she gardens in her SE St. Cloud plot. Here is her post mortem on the summer’s efforts, and you know what? It’s all good. Yea for gardening!
