In my own experience, growing a friendship is much like growing a healthy plant. 06/23/2022 12:00 AM

No longer will trays of flower transplants create a mess, a sore back from picking them up and cluttering the garden shed with thoughts of future use. Thanks to Eco+ Grande Pots, we can now simply pull four tabs and plant them and the pot, a true ecological wonder. 06/23/2022 12:00 AM

I am a proud product of Texas Public Schools, from first (there was no public school kindergarten in the 1950s), and now that I’ve earned two graduate degrees in education, I can say with some authority, the professionals who taught me were experienced, dedicated and fulfilled as educators. They were mostly all great teachers. 06/16/2022 12:00 AM

A display at the recent Young’s Plant Farm Annual Garden Tour caused quite a stir not only within the industry that day, but on my Facebook page as well. I would like to take credit, saying it was my beautiful photography but to be honest when you look at a planting and say something like Holy Wow or Oh Wow, it is always the plants. The display was really a trifecta of award winners that just happened to come together and the Crème de la Crème was Blue Mohawk rush or juncus. 06/16/2022 12:00 AM

Like you, my heart has been with the victims, their parents, children and the people of Uvalde. My mind struggles with how such a horrendous act could have ever been conceived – and, honestly, I question how such a terrible mission was ever envisioned by a person with so little life experience. 06/09/2022 12:00 AM

The persona usually emerges during the birth of a woman’s first child. It’s been described many ways: the motherly instinct, a woman who is unapologetic for her choices when it comes to her children. The Urban Dictionary’s definition is: “A mom who can be cuddly and lovable but also has a ferocious side when it’s necessary to protect her cubs. 06/02/2022 12:00 AM

Ladybird primroses make their debut

Ladybird primroses make their debut

New in garden centers this year are a couple of Ladybirds. When you see the name Ladybird associated with a plant you can assume a few things, native DNA, great for the environment and most likely Tough-as-Nails. 06/02/2022 12:00 AM

Some say life in the good ole days was a lot easier. Maybe so. At least folks had a well-worn life script to follow. 05/26/2022 12:00 AM

New Hawaiian Ti Varieties Create a Dazzling Taste of the Tropics

New Hawaiian Ti Varieties Create a Dazzling Taste of the Tropics

Our Taste for the Tropics just got a lot larger this year as Proven Winners has added five new Hawaiian Ti varieties under their Proven Selections label. This brings the Cordyline group to a total of eight selections. Most of us have never seen a named variety of Hawaiian Ti known botanically as Cordyline fruticosa or Cordyline australis. 05/26/2022 12:00 AM

It took me years to believe that some people are just plain mean. I’m sure I had passed my 50th birthday before this realization occurred, and it didn’t happen overnight. In fact, it took some time, going over family history and life experiences before I realized: some people are just mean. They go out of their way to hurt others… to put down a co-worker…nit-pick someone’s performance, their appearance, financial status, house, car, children, educational level, etc. 05/19/2022 12:00 AM
