Here’s how to get the most out of perennial bulbs and increase blooming capacity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the heat of summer wanes and fall officially begins, the time for planting perennials has arrived. Perennials can be divided into two general categories: herbaceous and woody. Herbaceous perennials have soft stems, and woody perennials are commonly known as shrubs and trees. Many geophytes — plants that grow from bulbs and other underground storage structures — are herbaceous perennials especially suited for fall planting since certain species require a period of winter cold to bloom at their

Five things to do in the garden this week: Fruit. Carob trees (Ceratonia siliqua), native to the Mediterranean, are exceptionally drought-tolerant. Once they have been in the ground for a couple of years, you will never need to water them. While the seeds are poisonous, the sweet, chewy pulp that surrounds them can be eaten raw, straight off the tree. Wild trees are typically male or female, but named cultivars are hermaphrodites and so only one such tree is needed for fruit (pod) production, wh
Dispelling a common watering misconception and are organic pesticides safer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When it gets sizzling hot outside, no harm comes from watering plants in the middle of the day. One of the most enduring horticultural misconceptions is that “water droplets on leaves act as tiny magnifying glasses, leading to burnt foliage.” The only disadvantage in watering when it’s hot is rapid evaporation, as water is wasted compared to early morning irrigation. Early morning is the best time to work in the garden anyway. Not only do cooler temperatures mean garden tasks are more easily acc
Harvesting guava, peppers and more to do in the garden this week (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fruit: Bob Beberfall, who resides in Ontario, is especially proud of his giant Thai guava tree (Psidium guajava ‘Thai White’). He says the fruit grows to “the size of a fist.” It differs from other guavas, which are eaten when their flesh softens after harvest. Instead, Thai guava is typically cut up like an apple and eaten firm. Its flesh is white and less sugary than other guavas, but still sweet, with apple, pear, and strawberry flavors detectable. Seeds are present but are typically crunched
What is the key to plant longevity? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bob Beberfall seems to have a knack for associating with long-lived plants. “We moved into a new apartment on the 15th floor of a building in Flushing (Queens, New York) in 1966. I bought a small Dracaena at a plant sale and planted succulent seeds in a large bowl. I left for college in 1970. However, my mom and sister took over their care.” Beberfall sent photos of those plants today, a Dracaena marginata — so-called because a red line runs the length of its leaf margins — and a colony of succu
