Bambi may be cute in the movie, but roaming around your flowers and garden is a different story. Here's what to plant to keep the deer away this season.

Take a breath, Michiganders. This really shouldn't affect your spring planting.

I have a garden at home and one at the radio station.  The two couldn't be more different.  The one at home I am able to water regularly.  The station garden requires frequent trips with a watering can.

Whenever I want a tasty, healthy salad, all I have to do is head for my backyard salad bar. My wife and I planted several different types of lettuce and spinach in containers this year. This makes it a little easier to manage and keep track of what is growing.

The weather forecast calls for warm conditions through Memorial Day weekend, so it looks like it is safe to get your gardens planted. I have a garden at my home and another one at the radio station. We put plants that we started from seed in our home garden yesterday.

Despite the fact that our weather has returned to seasonal form for mid-April, it's okay to plant certain cold-hardy crops. One of my favorites is peas! Peas grow quickly (4-8 weeks) and you can plant them in the spring and the fall.

With a few qualifications. First, this has been an abnormally warm year. The calendar shows that we still have a week and a half left in March. Which leaves us about six weeks where we could pot

If you are like me, you took advantage of the nice weather we had over the Easter weekend to get some things done outside.

While some people are content to have a nice green lawn and something to mow every few days, a lot of us are finding new and delicious uses for our yards!
