By Jesse Eastman In the past I’ve written about the importance of developing a detailed plan prior to the start of the gardening season – measure your beds, track sunlight, review your carefully compiled notes from the previous season, etc. Here’s the thing about all that: I was wrong.

By Jesse Eastman Do you or someone you know suffer from Houseplantitis? This common but underdiagnosed condition affects plant lovers around the globe.

We garden in Colorado! We know the heartbreak of the 5 or 10 minute storm that can undo 500 hours of hard work. When hail strikes—what’s a gardener to do? Wait a day or two. Let the sun shine and the anger subside. The damage will be easier to evaluate after some time has passed. […]
