Gray's backyard

We have an acre of land that seems to be mainly shade...... which is nice, since Arkansas is so hot in the summer...

Re: READER PHOTOS! Julie's garden in Pennsylvania

This is what I've been looking for... other people's gardens. REAL gardens, from REAL people who love their dirt! Love the placement of their plants and share the beauty. Thank you!

Re: A Few Late Summer Rose Chores Brings On The Fall Show

What is your organic time release fertilizer program? I am so desperately looking for an easy way to keeping the roses fed and disease free..... it seems all I do is spray, feed and water... every weekend is taken up with the roses... and I only have about 45. Well, maybe another 50 or so knockouts.. but they aren't as demanding. Please help me. I really do have other plants and I would love a little "me" time for my weekends.

Thanks, Gray

Re: Gingers that every gardener should grow

I have something in my yard that smells like ginger and looks like your european wild ginger, but my leaf is just a little more ruffled. It is the most invasive plant I have ever seen. It's also evergreen with a small blue flower in the spring.

Re: Gingers that every gardener should grow

Isn't this wild ginger terribly invasive? Gray
