Propagating Succulents by Leaf Cuttings

Many succulents such as the Jade plant, Panda plant and the two types of Echeveria in Figure S-1 can easily be propagated by leaf cuttings. This makes it possible to start many new plants from only the leaves of one plant. The leaves of some succulents are bad to break loose from the parent plant from the slightest touch. Rather than them being wasted you can start more plants for yourself or to share with others.

Planning for the Coming Spring

Moving Flowers From the Garden to your Plate

Many flowers are not only beautiful but also edible. Before eating any flower make sure you know where it came from and if it is chemical free. Never eat flowers from the florist, nurseries, garden centers or from the roadside, as they may have been treated with pesticides, herbicides or other chemicals. I recommend only eating flowers you grow yourself to be assured of their safety.

Here are ten reasons for keeping a garden notebook or journal. Doing this will make your gardening chores more organized and hopefully easier.

 1. Keep diagrams of your garden beds with notations showing where the plants are located and the names of the plants. This way after some of the plants lose their leaves you will still be able to locate them when working in the garden. You can also mark locations where there is room for more plants.

Making compost is not that hard, after all Mother Nature has been making it for millions of years. For our purposes we will expand on what Mother Nature does naturally.

Growing Herbs Inside Through the Winter

Growing herbs inside through the winter is a challenge but it can be done with a little planning.

First the herbs need light so choose an area in front of a window, preferably a south facing one.  East and west may be used but try to stay away from a north facing window if you can.  Also you may need to add some supplemental lighting.
