by Niki JabbourComments (0)

Growing tomatoes in a self watering planter is an easy and low-maintenance way
to enjoy a bounty of homegrown tomatoes. These innovative planters are perfect

WHEN TO CUT BACK LAVENDER: TIME YOUR TRIMMING FOR HEALTHY PLANTS

by Tara NolanComments (0)

borders. However as they mature, lavender plants will spread and can begin to
look a little bedraggled. Pruning the plant can help to contain it in the garden
and keep it looking neat. Knowing when to cut back lavender is important.
