'Cabaret' grass is a personal favoriteI'm a fan of ornamental grasses, but more of some types than others, and only when they're used in moderation. Cabaret grass is one of my favorites. I'll give you my reasons. Photo: Cabaret provides striking white accent to its garden. |

Neil's Best Water-Saving SuggestionsResponsible gardeners know that water is our state's most precious natural resource. That's especially true as tens of thousands of new residents arrive every month. I've collected my best water-saving tips and put them into a list. You'll save money if you scan through it.

(I "borrowed" this photo from his website. You also need to know that three WBU stores, including Ron's, sponsor e-gardens, but this is not a part of that sponsorship. Just an admiring comment.)
That's all. Stay calm. Stay cool. Stay hydrated. Same for your plants, your pets and your birds. Happy gardening! |
