    Native Spider Wort. Great for shady moist areas. Spreads like crazy but easily pulled out. ...»
    Have also seen the other pop up in my garden. All plants are weeds IF they're in a spot you don't want. So pull it out when it gets in the way of things you've planted & leave if it looks good & fills a bar spot. Happy gardening! Check out our website & 'like' us on Facebook.

Gardening: Elm? Mystery tree/bush in my yard.

Does anyone know for sure what this is that's been growing in my flower garden for the last few years? I don't want to cut it down, in case it's something I may want to keep like a nut tree/shrub, etc.

Gardening: Can anyone identify these flowers?

On a recent trip to the Dallas Arboretum, I snapped a photo of these gorgeous flowers. Unfortunately, they didn't label them. Does anyone know what they are?

  • Isn't this edge pretty? Trust me, this is very easy to do. All you need are three tools you likely already have on hand. 6
  • This was the before. Does this look more like what you have in your own yard? Let's fix this right up!
  • This is a simple half moon edger. Make a nice fresh cut along the grass part of your edges in a nice smooth arc.

Our palette garden

Cultivators Design and landscape loves to re-use things and this is our version of the palette garden. We also think these would make great herb gardens or succulent gardens too!

    leaves to the center of the yard, my husband mows over the huge piles several times. Then we leave the shrunken piles while we spread a mixture of compost from my 2 compost piles, along with peat moss, mushroom compost, top soil & composted cow manure to my flower beds. With the exception of the top soil, at least everything is light weight. After that is completed, we move the new debris piles to our emptied compost bins.
