Plant of the Week: MandevillaIt may be the prettiest shade of all our pink flowers, and we've been in love with this tropical vine for 25 years or longer. Its late for it now, but remember it next season. I have the details. Photo: Mandevilla in bloom in McKinney now. |

Gardening This WeekendIt hasn't been feeling exactly like fall, but don't let that fool you. The things you do now are reflective of changes coming soon to a landscape and garden near you. Better check through our list. Photo: Mexican bush sage (Salvia leucantha) can be planted now. |

Question of the Week: September 21, 2017"When can we quit watering, Neil?" That one posted on Facebook caught me off guard last weekend. I've been asked variations of it frequently, but never in those exact words. I gave the shortest answer I've ever given. Photo: Sprinkler system will even run during the winter. |

Fall Landscaping PaysI can make a really strong case for landscaping this time of the year. In fact, it's such a good plan, that's exactly what I'll do. If you have improvements you'd like to be making, please see what I've written. Photo: Nurseries still have great supplies of plants for landscaping projects. |

And in closingI know you're craving twice as much information, but to get it we're going to ask you to wait until the same time next week. I'll be back with another e-gardens at that time. In the meantime, if you enjoyed it, please let our advertisers know, and please tell your friends. I'll see you on Facebook, on my website, and I hope to have your ears on my podcasts and radio programs and your eyes on my newspaper columns. Well save you a seat in church this Sunday morning. As always, thanks for reading, and Happy gardening! |
