How to Keep Up Gardening in the Winter by Sandy Swegel Nothing like the first deeply freezing temperatures followed by a warm day to get people in Zone 5 areas asking if the gardening season is really over if they can still tackle their garden to do lists even though winter looms with Thanksgiving is […]
Collecting Holiday Decorations from Your Garden by Sandy Swegel I’m a big fan of multi-tasking so it’s natural that whenever there’s a garden chore to be done, I think about whether it might solve some other task that needs doing. In the Spring I schedule perennial weed digging so the roots can be thrown to […]
Collecting Fall Decor by Sandy Swegel One reason I first started gardening was so I could cut flowers to bring into the house or to bring as a gift to friends. Almost all the flowers are finished in Colorado so it’s time to be more creative. There’s still lots to do to bring nature beautifully […]
How to Repurpose Fall Leaves by Sandy Swegel Fall leaves are Nature’s parting gift from the growing season to the gardener. Tree roots run deep and wide and have collected minerals and nutrients from deep in the soil. These are nutrients that then spent the summer high in the sky at treetop collecting sun rays […]

One thing about wildflowers though, especially in our suburban gardens. A few years after planting it seems that […]
Why You Should be a Self-Taught Gardner by Sandy Swegel I garden and landscape for a living. I have accumulated a massive amount of information about the best ways to grow things, to take care of the soil, to encourage native plants and bees, etc. When I’m talking to people, they naturally assume I have […]
Seed Starting by Sandy Swegel Yes, most of the country has been caught up in a polar vortex. Snow and ice are on the ground and you, the gardener, are stuck with nothing to garden. There are still two flower seeds you can start outdoors now! Poppies and Calendula. A friend who has gardened “naturally” for […]
Seed Starting by Sandy Swegel My first packets of seeds have come in the mail and I’m so eager to start gardening, but the 10 inches of old snow that’s still all over my garden is a real obstacle. My lights are reserved for tomatoes and peppers….but I want to Garden NOW. When I’m in this predicament, […]
