gardening

This Saturday morning, there's a FREE online event hosted by Cashman's Nursery to teach us all the tips and tricks to early season gardening and starting seeds indoors.

Spring is a challenging time for us folks who like to garden in Gallatin County. I'm no expert or degree holder in horticulture but I DO feel your pain.

MSU Extension's horticulture programs are an amazing resource for local gardeners with a bounty of information, guides, classes, groups and more.

We reported last month at least two major online seed catalogs had paused all ordering due to overwhelming demand and cumbersome COVID-19 protocols. As of now, those issues seem to be resolved.

My growing collection of plastic take-out boxes brings out the biggest gardening geek in me. You can't recycle clam-shell plastic around here anyway so re-use them in the best possible way!

Seriously. You can't order your seeds right now due to overwhelming demand and COVID-19 protocols. Two of my favorites sites are currently not taking orders. At all.

Like gardening, free stuff and up-cycling? Then check the Bozeman Craigslist Free Stuff because at the moment there are tons of free pots and just about EVERYTHING you need to build some cold boxes or a small greenhouse.

Good weather and more time at home made for a very successful garden this year. Flowers seemed healthier with bigger blooms, fruit trees were bountiful and my veggies were packed with flavor.

It's been an epic year for many of us tomato growers in the Gallatin Valley. Mine have been the best tasting I've ever grown. Harvest is upon us...here's how to make them last longer.

If you're looking to add a tree to your landscaping, consider one of the prettiest trees that grow well in Bozeman - a Japanese Lilac tree. It's not the same as the all the lilacs you'll find around town...but it smells wonderful and it's a real "tree" tree.

Every year I put together my own flower baskets. It's super easy, inexpensive and a fun way to spend an afternoon in the sun. Until a Winter Weather Advisory is issued.

If you don't mind very early hours, you might score the flower watering job in downtown Bozeman. I promise I'll wave to you every morning on my way to work.
