- Boone blooms (Fall 2008)
- The mountains around Boone, N.C., offer the climate and scenery Homesteaders love.
- Green & Growing: My neighbor's gift (Fall 2008)
- The great advantages of daylilies are hardiness, variety, and length of blooming time. They're tough because they survive with little care in many different climates, adapt to acid or alkaline soil, and resist drought, disease, and insects.
- Orchids' beauty and wiles lure people as well as pollinators
- It's a world where Technicolor blooms the size of dinner plates flash beside cascades of flowers so tiny that they could share the head of a pin. It's the world of orchids, and every bloom tells a story.
- Give it candy: Fertilizer sweetens the grass
- In conversation we talk about "feeding" our lawns when we're about to spread fertilizer, but the fertilizer itself is not food.
