Seedy Saturdays

It is no secret that Seedy Saturday is by far my very favourite gardening event of the year. It's a great way to trade and purchase local, organic and heirloom seeds and support small gardening and seed suppliers. It is also a turning point in

Lilac FAQs

I saw a comment pop up on an old post of mine from last May about Lilacs that I thought I would pull out and do my best to address here. The comment, or rather question was about a healthy seeming lilac bush that doesn't seem to
