Want to know what's missing in your life? Flowers! If you joined the January Cure at the start of the year, perhaps you remember what fun it was to buy your weekly flowers. I'll admit I haven't kept it up, but when I came across these aerial shots of flower farms, it inspired me to get back in the habit of Friday flowers.
Despite Boston's abundant amount of green space, there are very few local shopping options for urban gardeners. Lindsey Swett, a lifelong green thumb, got tired of making trips to the 'burbs for supplies, so she started Niche for people like herself, no Zipcar necessary.
MoreI have been writing a book since the new year, and I am finding it quite distracting. Normally my garden would have been in the ground for over a month now, but at the moment I barely have half of it planted. Trying to be practical — I don't need too many veggies forcing me to have to can this year — I am opting instead for flowers. My daughter wants to sell them at the Farmers Market later this summer.

There is simply no garden show greater than Chelsea. The Chelsea Flower Show takes place annually on the grounds of the Royal Hospital in London, and it features the finest garden designers, builders, and products in the garden industry. If you are looking for inspiration, there's no better place to find it.
DIY bloggers Chris and Julia Marcum (of Chris Loves Julia) finally got to working on a project they've been meaning to for years (hey, we've all been there!):
I have a couple pairs of white pants that I always look forward to pulling out of the closet right around Memorial Day. Inspired by my love of white apparel for summer, here's a roundup of white pots and planters. Think of them as white pants for your plants.
MoreGardening is one of my favorite hobbies, but it can also be expensive when you start buying lots of plants and pots. What if you could double, triple, even quadruple the number of plants you currently have without spending a dime? If you have a little bit of time on your hands, along with a lot of patience, you can do just that. Let's dig into cacti and succulent propagation!
MoreGeraniums are easily the easiest patio plant to grow. They also look great in flower beds and window boxes. There is absolutely no reason not overuse these beloved garden plants.
