Topiaries create a living art form in your gardens
If you ever saw the movie “The Shining,” you can’t help but recall the wonderful gardens, the huge maze and the incredible topiaries decorating the grounds in front of the house. I am sure you will also recall the eerie ability of the topiaries to come to life at night taking on evil forms.

Bromeliads add lasting color to homes
Every winter many people comment how they would like to have blooming plants within the home to add a little color. More often than not, these plants that bloom indoors only have flowers that last a short time, but there are some out there that can last quite a while and don’t take a lot of intense care. These are the types of houseplants that people always tend to gravitate towards.

Oranges will aid in good health
During the winter there always seems to be a large influx of colds and flu spreading from one person to another. Of course, we always recommend you get plenty of rest, drink lots of fluids and get your daily allowance of vitamin C to ward off the effects.

Plant flower bulbs right to avoid spring no-shows
Flower bulbs are a forgiving bunch. They can be buried upside down, stomped on or ignored, yet most will bloom for several seasons.
There are the occasional no-shows, of course — those that fail to flower and deliver the first burst of color in early spring. Here’s why some bulbs fall short, and what you can do about it:

This weather is for the birds
The mild weather in our region continues to make me very happy, but I am sure it will end soon. Not only does it make me happy, but I think it really makes the birds a lot happier also. Every morning that I go outside, I hear the birds chirping away like it is the spring season. On a normal winter morning, there is usually very little to sing about. That has not happened yet and it truly starts the day off right.

Cats like houseplants, but houseplants don’t like cats. Or, at least, cats don’t do houseplants any good.

How will this dry winter affect our plants?
It is already the final day of 2011 and we have yet to get much snow cover for the season. Like any year, it is difficult to plan for what lies ahead when it comes to the weather. Due to the lack of moisture and cover, I hear many people ask how this is going to affect their landscape plantings, especially if it continues. Unless you take chances, most will be just fine come the spring season.

The zone of peace can be found in our gardens
As we get closer to the end of the year, and without snow I might add, we begin to plan for spring. Usually at this point, we have endured six weeks of snow and are ready for spring, but this year seems to be a long extension of fall. I am not complaining in the least, as it only means a shorter winter lies ahead before spring actually arrives.

Some figs are not for eating
Even if you don’t grow edible fruits, it’s likely you’ve grown some sort of ornamental fig. They range from creeping vines to majestic trees, most of them tropical, in which case they can make majestic houseplants.

Popcorn is very common in households
We always recognize many different details throughout the holiday season. Today, trees are decorated with lights and glass ornaments. Some have themes with various colors, others are themed with certain types of ornaments, whereas others are made quite sophisticated, adorned with items of crystal and hand-blown glass from various areas around the world.

Define ‘shade’ before planting a shade garden
One of the toughest tasks in gardening is dealing with the dark side: coaxing plants to grow where the sun won’t shine.
But the challenge is worth it. Shade gardens can introduce many subtle colors and varying leaf textures to otherwise barren parts of the landscape.
