Garden Philosophy: Every gardener needs three things: (1) very favorite flowers used every year (mine are Agapanthus, Beard Iris, & Crocosmia, (2) a nursery for starting seeds, cuttings, & helping struggling plants, and (3) a shop steward (my dog “Lark” oversees everything I do).
Favorite Garden Tip : We moved from northern NJ (zone 5B) with an acre of flower gardens to a cement patio in Harbor Town (zone 8A). Adapting to the horticultural zone changes and “pot-only” gardening has been a real challenge. Under similar circumstances, one simply should experiment, take chances, and enjoy the consequences – regardless.
