It's that time of year! Time to start your plants and veggies to get ready for this summer's gardening season.

Did you know that bats are the only flying animals and they actually help our environment? Too boring? Here are 5 ways that you can actually put these guys to work for you (and your garden).

About 3 weeks ago, I went on a mulch-mission:  I wanted to prepare myself for the upcoming gardening season as early as possible, to avoid the multiple visits I made last year. I loaded up on 20 bags. I STINK at gardening, but I wanted to give it a valiant effort this year...

There are no green thumbs in my house. Generally, any type of annuals I may plant in the spring don't make it through the summer. I had basically given up on having any sort of flowers to enhance the curb appeal of our home. Then, I found a daylily!
