"The genus Salvia is varied in size and color, easy to grow, and trouble-free," writes Tom Karwin. "It comes to mind because so many specimens exist in my garden, and because this season is the time to schedule cutting them down. It has been about a year since I focused on these plants, so this is an occasion to revisit the garden stalwarts."
"Roses are going dormant at this time of the year," writes Tom Karwin. "This is the season for annual care for your roses, including propagating, pruning, and adding plants to your garden."
"Figs are ripening at this time of the year, so we’ve been harvesting a few each day to include with our meals," writes Tom Karwin. "As always, the birds have also been enjoying the figs that are too high to reach easily, so we’re glad to share this bounty."
"Today’s picture gallery provides examples of invasive plants in our local environment, with indications of their invasiveness," writes Tom Karwin. "We include notes about some invasive plants in my garden and plans for their management, and then offer recommendations about invasive plants in your garden."
