Baby Begonias
An trip to the greenhouse in early March is one way to soothe the soul when one is chomping at the bit to get into the garden, even though the snow is still half a metre in the backyard.
Spring Colour
Yes you can grown brightly coloured rhododendrons in Alberta and they will thrive. These are hybrids from Finland – Haaga. The neat thing about rhododendrons is the leaves are evergreen. They like an acidic soil.
Old Fashioned Peonies
Peonies put on a great show at the start of summer. Their roots are amazing. They last for decades. The tiniest bit left in the ground if the plant is dug up and transplanted will take root and send up a brand new plant.
A Rose By Any Other Name
There’s nothing like a David Austin English Rose to brighten your day. I started growing roses at least 20 years ago. David Austin roses are by far my favourite varieties to grow.
