Read the latest Q&A’s below!
From vegetable gardens to succulents, it can be challenging to determine. No one answer works for every gardener.
Try to understand the characteristics of your plant. Is it drought-tolerant, or does the plan require moisture? Newly planted trees and shrubs will need a generous amount of moisture. Container plants usually dry out more quickly.
As the weather becomes warmer, plants grow and require more frequent watering.
Just don’t water too much… plants can’t do backstroke!
The automower gives you a much better-looking lawn!
This hands-free robotic mower maintains the length of grass, and the grass clippings are so small that they don’t need to be collected. Instead, these clippings become mulch and serve as a natural fertilizer, giving you a greener lawn!
Newer mowers offer mowing pattern options. You could mow in lines that look like a baseball diamond!
With the Husqvarna automower, your lawn will be next level!
Pruning evergreens can be done anytime, but to control growth, springtime is best!
For spruce and pine, simply break off the new growth before it develops.
Deciduous plants should be pruned as soon as they finish blooming. This will allow for new growth and bud development for the following season.
Keep in mind, only 1/3 of the size should be pruned off the plant.
Get ready for lush, healthy trees and shrubs!
It’s all about versatile cooking. Do everything you can down in your over and more outside with a gas grill or smoker. BBQ, smoke, sear, bake! You can elevate your food because there’s nothing like that flame-broiled flavour.
Nobody’s stuck in the kitchen. The host can be outside enjoying the get-together with family and friends. Plus, grilling the perfect steak at home costs a lot less than going to a restaurant.
Happy outdoor grilling!

Get ready to transform your space with an outdoor kitchen as stylish as it is functional!
Consider what colours, textures, and types of plants you prefer.
Where are these plants going to be located? Will they need shade or sun? What type of soil is best for them? Will the plants be in an area that gets lots of water? Will they be in a “wind tunnel”, but protected? Another consideration is the climate zone. Will these plants thrive in our climate?
Once you consider all of this, you’ll find the perfect plants for your space.
