Low care is what we do while on our knees. Smart care is what makes the growing easier.

There's no "right way" to garden, only what suits each person and place.

Don't design your back yard from the outside looking in. Design from your window looking out.

Gardeners in regions with very long summer days have a great opportunity, and should use more of the cool colors that literally glow in the low light of morning and evening.

Be pleased with your real garden, don't persue the perfection of a picture. What you see in a photo lasted only as long as the shutter snap.

Gardeners do first, read later. Why not? Plants are very gracious in accepting an apology.

A colorful handle on a tool does nothing for me. Once it drops into that jungle out there, unless it's absolutely huge, it's gone until fall.
