If you’re looking for a houseplant with a fun, quirky appearance, add a goldfish plant to your collection. As you may have guessed, the pouch-like flowers resemble plump little goldfish along each trailing stem. Native to Brazil, goldfish plants (Nematanthus spp) actually grow as epiphytes in large trees, like orchids and Spanish moss. They also have a reputation for being a wee bit fussy. Most problems occur from insufficient light and overwatering.

nukopic//Getty ImagesI grew up in my Grandma's garden, so it’s comforting to grow the same beautiful flowers she grew and loved, including the peonies I transplanted from her back garden to mine. As it turns out, there’s something to be said for "nostalgia gardening".

Summer isn’t the same kind of summer everywhere. Whether you live in a breezy coastal community in New England or in the Lower South where things get steamy as early as March, you can’t expect that you’ll be able to grow the same types of plants everywhere. Plus, every summer is different (too much rain! not enough rain!), and every summer is the same (you’ll plant too many zucchini plants again! so many weeds to pull!).

Lex20//Getty ImagesDespite a few monthly gardening jobs (including regular weeding), our gardens don’t usually demand too much help from us: nature knows what to do without our interference. However, some plants actually do better – pushing new growth and better flower power – when you prune them in the spring. While not all plants need pruning at this time of year, there are many that benefit from a quick haircut all-around to refresh them and encourage more flowers.

Key Takeaways If your lawn is starting to look a little patchy, you may have a grub problem lurking below the surface. "Grubs are the larval stage of scarab beetles," says Daniel Potter, PhD, professor emeritus, department of entomology at the University of Kentucky. "Their sharp jaws operate horizontally, like a pair of shears, to cut off the roots of turf so that it cannot absorb water." Many different types of white grub species may be to blame.
