Creeping Phlox
A perennial ground cover, creeping phlox spreads to display a thick blanket of blooms in vibrant shades of pink, lavender, red, white or bluish-purple every spring. It is a sturdy, low-maintenance plant that camouflages an unsightly slope or other difficult areas in the landscape as it rambles between rocks or cascades over a wall. It can also be planted along a walkway or bordering a flowerbed. Once established, creeping phlox is a drought-tolerant plant that requires supplemental water only during warm, dry weather.

| Top 5 Houseplants That Are Safe For Pets In my time in the nursery, I’ve spoken to many people who never attempted growing houseplants in their homes and offices. Unfortunately, one of the recurring reasons I kept hearing–they owned pets, and so many houseplants are toxic to animals. While it is true that that are many houseplant varieties that can cause toxic effects to pets, there are just as many varieties that are perfectly safe if your pets happen to take a little nibble. | |

| My Top 5 Favorite Vegetables Bonnie's Garden I try to plant at least one new thing every year—both in my flower and my veggie/herb garden. Over the past few years, I’ve come up with a list of my favorite vegetables so far. As I continue to try new things, this list is definitely subject to change. Most of my favorite vegetables are not necessarily the “standard” varieties. Some of them are a little less than traditional and you may well like another variety better. It’s really all about “customizing” your garden to your tastes. Just in case you’re interested, here are some of my favorites | |

| Corn Gluten Weed Preventer It's Organic! Don’t worry, it’s not the food ingredient everyone’s trying to avoid! In this case, “Gluten Free” is NOT the goal! Corn Gluten is an all-natural by-product of the production of corn starch. It prevents the establishment of weeds and supplies a source of organic nitrogen. Nitrogen promotes green growth in lawns and the nitrogen in corn gluten is slow released and long-lasting. Corn gluten prevents the roots of seedling weeds from developing. Without root formation, the weed dies from a lack of water since roots deliver water to the rest of the weed. Meadows Farms recommends Espoma Organic Weed Preventer plus Lawn Food.
