Gardening Article Updates

Hi - this is the place where I post all my new articles for this website, the results of garden trials and simply having fun in the garden.  This website started a few years ago, when I had my nursery (hence the name) and I still report on plants and the techniques I'm learning to grow them.  

I've also expanded the site to focus more on herbs and garden design.  

So, if you're interested in getting the latest articles, sign up for the feed or the newsletter on the left hand nav bar (or both because they're different).

In answer to the question, "What have you done for me lately?" :-) Here it is.

Doug
