'Cracklin Rosie' begonia steals the show whether it's popping out of an indoor container or making its home outdoors. Its curvaceous leaves, cool pink spots, and crazy new growth never fails to amaze me. ]]> http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/9173/my-begonia-is-awesome Fri, 05 Jun 2009 22:50:00 -0400 http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8939/why-not-replace-your-plants-with-styrofoam http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8939/why-not-replace-your-plants-with-styrofoam Posted by GardenWiseGuy
Maybe I’m missing something and you can straighten me out. I’ve been under the impression that people put plants in their yards because they want to bring a little bit of nature into their lives. ]]> http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8939/why-not-replace-your-plants-with-styrofoam Tue, 02 Jun 2009 10:23:37 -0400 http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/9097/a-reason-to-visit-trenton-nj http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/9097/a-reason-to-visit-trenton-nj Posted by SuzanneNoel

Many gardners consider Felcos to be the beginning and end of the discussion on pruners. Are they right? ]]> http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8981/what-are-the-best-hand-pruners Thu, 28 May 2009 11:20:25 -0400 http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8992/getting-into-trouble-with-amy-stewart http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8992/getting-into-trouble-with-amy-stewart Posted by DanielleGardenGirl
Since Fine Gardening is located in Connecticut, it's not often that we are visited by fun gardening friends from other areas of the country. So we were thrilled to learn that Amy Stewart of Garden Rant infamy would be swinging through earlier this week to do a reading from her new book, Wicked Plants, at a local bookstore. ]]> http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8992/getting-into-trouble-with-amy-stewart Wed, 27 May 2009 01:00:00 -0400 http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8558/do-you-suffer-from-one-of-each-itis http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8558/do-you-suffer-from-one-of-each-itis Posted by GardenWiseGuy
For gardeners, impulse shopping is hard to avoid when everything at the nursery is calling to you. Don't distress. There's a cure for what ails you and it doesn't require the use of pharmaceuticals. ]]> http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8558/do-you-suffer-from-one-of-each-itis Mon, 18 May 2009 10:23:46 -0400 http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8756/and-the-winner-of-aprils-photo-challenge-is http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8756/and-the-winner-of-aprils-photo-challenge-is Posted by FineGardening_Editor
During the month of April, we asked our readers to share photos illustrating how they've gone green in their gardens. This post was a favorite among our editors, but it wasn't easy to choose. ]]> http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8756/and-the-winner-of-aprils-photo-challenge-is Fri, 15 May 2009 08:56:09 -0400 http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8610/a-british-perspective-on-american-gardens http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8610/a-british-perspective-on-american-gardens Posted by FineGardening_Editor
When it comes to American gardens, I'm no expert. I’m a British gardener. More specifically, I’m a Welsh gardener.

If I actually get to harvest any snow peas this year, it will be nothing short of a miracle. Rearing them has been a struggle from the start.

As I swept, a wet bandanna over my smudged face, this occurred to me: The white flakes I was cursing were the remains of not only the tough chaparral that was fueling the blaze, but probably the walls, furniture, and possessions of families whose homes were now smoldering memories. ]]> http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8445/santa-barbara-burning Wed, 13 May 2009 14:12:45 -0400 http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8575/firewise-landscaping-how-safe-is-your-home http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8575/firewise-landscaping-how-safe-is-your-home Posted by GardenWiseGuy
Perhaps you are thinking, "Wildfires only happen out west." The last time I checked, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, was on the Atlantic coast. The fire that broke out there on April 24, 2009 burned 19,600 acres and consumed 80 homes. ]]> http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8575/firewise-landscaping-how-safe-is-your-home Thu, 07 May 2009 14:16:38 -0400 http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8453/you-want-to-paint-my-what http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8453/you-want-to-paint-my-what Posted by GardenWiseGuy
I'm ready to pick my first fight. A guy in Perris California is being paid to paint the lawns of repo homes green. Why do they have front lawns when the kids are hardwired to their X-boxes? Here are a few alternatives. ]]> http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8453/you-want-to-paint-my-what Wed, 06 May 2009 11:00:05 -0400 http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8436/things-i-love-in-theory http://finegardening.taunton.com/item/8436/things-i-love-in-theory Posted by mgervais
