General Garden Advice From CannEe GOSSIP Peter Henderson
Seed sowing requires a sieve for soil boxes and open ground planting. Order seeds now for timely availability and quality. Lift frost lifted perennials and destroy egg clusters on trees with creosote. Transplant strongest seedlings first and use an old kitchen fork. Include petunias for reliable blooms and avoid oversized shrubs.
