Hardy Spring Containers for Warm Days and Cold Nights

1 week ago | finegardening.com | Christine Alexander

Spring is that time of year when the air smells like things want to grow. But then a chilly wind shows up with a snow flurry and reminds you it’s not time for planting. For much of the Midwest, late winter and early spring were an unpredictable mess. A roller coaster of temperatures, record-shattering winds, power outages, and rain that was either torrential or gone in a flash. This resulted in winter greens often staying in pots far longer than normal (or appreciated).

1 week ago | finegardening.com | Kaitlyn Hayes

Happy Friday, GPODers!It seems that a lot of you are having a banner spring this year. From flushes of fabulous flowers to big and bright new foliage growth, and even some early-season edibles, we’ve seen just about everything a spring garden has to offer. We continue that theme with first-time contributor Susan Buckley in Idaho. Susan’s garden is at an elevation of 5,500 feet, so she deals with a pretty harsh winter, but that can make spring even more exciting and awe-worthy.

After the frenzy of springtime slows and the heat of summer sets in, we all desperately want to put our tools down, pick up a glass of something ice cold, and enjoy the gardens that we labor over. Unfortunately, a gardener’s job is never truly done and even when summer reaches its peak, there are some chores that just can’t wait until fall. While we can’t give up on our gardens during the hottest months of the year, there are many ways to make these jobs easier.

Hi GPODers!At the end of last year we were introduced to Karen Safford’s stunning garden in Bend, Oregon (Check that post out here: Karen’s Oregon Garden Through the Seasons).

When plants are done in by pests, diseases, or bad weather, it is hard not to take it personally. But on the positive side, each plant that shuffles off this mortal coil does offer an opportunity to add something newer and better to our garden. In this episode, Danielle, Carol, and expert guest Kielian DeWitt talk about some of the most reliable cultivars that have stood the test of time under tough conditions.

Online Plant Poaching: The Growing Problem of Botanical Theft

2 weeks ago | finegardening.com | Christine Alexander

When I spotted a particular sand dollar cactus (Astrophytum asterias) at the Philadelphia Flower Show a few months ago, I knew I was in trouble. With a delightful color pattern I had never seen before, I desperately wanted it for my collection. But this plant wasn’t for sale. I also knew my usual garden centers and houseplant stores would not be able to source this plant for me, so I turned to the internet.
