Gardening This WeekendI found a long time ago that people often know what to do. They just don't do it at the right time. That's why I include this section in each week's e-gardens. See what's up for this weekend. Photo: Sweet little violas, heavily-blooming sisters to pansies, can be planted now. |

Mums for Fall ColorAs far as I know, there is no official flower of the fall, but if there were, it would certainly have to be mums. Nurseries are chock full of them now. Learn how to get the most out of them. Photo: Decorative chrysanthemums come in a variety of colors and forms. |

Question of the Week #1"We would like a tall shrub to screen an unsightly view behind our house. What would you suggest?" I have several options that would be at the top of my list. Photo: This shrub screen is in the Sperry backyard (along with two antique chimney pots from England). |

Question of the Week #2"Neil, I've been growing my poinsettia all summer, and I'd like to get it to bloom for Christmas. What do I need to do now?" I'll answer by telling you what greenhouse growers do. Photo: Poinsettias in greenhouse in early October. |

And, in closingTime's up. You've come to the end. But we can spend more time together on the radio, via my podcasts, on Facebook and in my newspaper columns. Or we can spend a whole lot more time together if you read through my latest book. Don't have it yet? We can help. Once again, thanks for being here, and don't forget to share us with others by clicking the link down below. Until next week, happy gardening! Neil |
