Going Green in the Garden
The best way to garden “green” is to work with Mother Nature as much as possible. The weather is always controlling everything about our gardening activities. In the last few years, we have had some of the worst freezes in history and some of the hottest summers with long periods of drought. It has become the norm to go from winter to summer and skip right over springtime.

Throw in a few hailstorms, high winds, and devastating tornadoes, and we have the worst situations possible for plants and gardeners. The following are suggestions for “going green” in our gardens that will help provide the extra care our plants need to survive extreme weather conditions.
