Memorial Day and the Red Poppy

Nibbles of knowledge on all things in the garden! I love to share gardening basics with the person who wants to get their hands dirty but might be a little apprehensive about digging in. It’s not about perfection, it’s about enjoying the road to it! It’s Wabi Sabi (Imperfect Beauty). I want you to go out in the garden with a little more confidence and a lot less fear of killing your plants, after all, some die! This is COLD Climate gardening. Teri Knight became a master gardener in 2003 and has hosted Garden Bite since 2007! Find more information on my website: www.gardenbite.com
