Blog postWelcome to Mary's Garden. Are you all ready for Christmas? Before I turn over the blog to Lexi Post, here is our weekly Garden Tip. I borrowed this from Telegraph:
Raise plants in pots off the ground to prevent roots from freezing, remove saucers to ensure plants don't stand in water, and wrap the whole thing in bubble wrap or hessian if you want to be doubly sure. But note that in very exposed areas you may already be too late to save marginally hardy plants.Don't walk on the lawn when it -

I'm going to borrow a tip from Mother Nature's Network. Winter Do's.Water.

Be sure to hydrate above-gro -

Blog postWelcome to Mary's Garden. We are into fall so the yard is in full prep for winter mode. I borrowed our tip from American Meadows. Here is the garden tip for this week:
There is More Time to Plant in Fall

Blog postWelcome to Mary's Garden. I'm going to share what a fun time we had at the Utah Reader's Luncheon. First a garden tips from You Should Grow.
PULL UP DEAD PLANTS
Go ahead and clean up the summer garden before it gets too cold.

Compost only the healthy plants that show no signs of dis -

Welcome Marie...
