Bare-root roses
Time to order bare-root roses. Growers with their own propagation fields offer roses you might not find started in pots at a garden centre
Sweet cherry tomatoes
Every seed catalogue on my desk falls open to the tomato pages. Perhaps the seed companies have recognized my obsession with sweet cherry tomatoes.
Starting primroses from seed
Starting primroses from seed doesn't always require complicated treatment to germinate. Judith Adam is enchanted by lovely old-fashioned kinds of primroses.
Repotting my moth orchids
A growing medium for orchids should help anchor the roots and be free draining, allowing water to run through the pot. The mix materials must also absorb enough moisture and nutrients to feed the roots and hydrate the orchids.
Favourite honeysuckle vines
Winter windows near my desk provide a close view of a birdbath. Just outside each window are honeysuckle vines outlined in snow.
