"Did you know that there are six bushes and shrubs that you should always avoid pruning in the fall?
While fall is the perfect time for cleaning up your flowerbeds and cutting back many perennials, when it comes to the chore of pruning and shaping bushes and shrubs, fall is not the ideal time to be cutting them back. Especially for bushes and shrubs that require old wood in order to bloom." Comment from Simple Garden Life
Since I live in Zone 9, where there are subtle changes from one season to another with occasional drastic changes that usually last a few days. In this climate, I have been able to prune anytime of the year, but avoid winter months. So I don't know the rules of pruning and look forward to learning how to do it the correct way.

"Green onions are one of the easiest and most rewarding vegetables to grow indoors. They require very little space, and they grow quickly, even from kitchen scraps. These plants can also be harvested repeatedly, so they're perfect for the colder months when outdoor gardening is often a challenge." Comment from Martha Stewart
I have a container full of green onion roots ready to be planted. Growing them indoors is something I have never done. Looking forward to growing them in my kitchen.

"Weeds are more than just an unattractive nuisance. Certain weeds can exacerbate allergies, attract unwelcome pests to your yard, and compete with desired grasses for sunlight, water, and nutrients. These fast-growing plants quickly take over your lawn, weakening the turf, creating bare patches, and reducing your lawn's curb appeal. The longer they’re left unchecked, the harder weeds are to control." Comment from Martha Stewart.com
Weeds in the lawn have been a major problem for me. As an organic gardener, it is difficult to kill the weeds without killing the grass. Martha Stewart always has good solutions to these gardening problems.
