Hibiscus are subtropical woody shrubs and small trees. The easy-to-care-for plant has a few maintenance requirements and needs proper soil, light, fertilizer, and water to survive.
Companion planting is the gardening technique of growing plants in a combination that will benefit both species. In this companion planting guide, we cover the pants that provide shade, deter pests, and encourage pollinators. We also provide a companion planting chart with some common planting combinations.
When are strawberries in season?
Strawberry season actually varies from region to region and from variety to variety, according to Erin Schanen, creator of The Impatient Gardener, a master garden volunteer, and a Troy-Bilt garden expert. So-called June-bearing varieties produce a large crop of berries for about three weeks, but just because they are called June-bearing doesn t mean that s when they ripen everywhere, she explains. June is typical for cooler zones, but in warmer zones (from about USDA zone seven and warmer), harvesting will begin sooner, perhaps as early as late February in places like Florida. If you re growing your berries in cooler climes, you ll have to wait a lot longer for a proper harvest. But in areas where it s warmer, you can start to enjoy the fruit of your labor as early as February.
