Now is the best time to buy and plant a surprising variety of plants. These include bare-root roses, berries, fruit and shade trees, vines, and perennial vegetables, such as artichokes, horseradish, and rhubarb. Also, choose azaleas, camellias, cymbidium orchids, primroses and other winter flowers while they are in bloom, and don't overlook the winter-flowering succulents and cacti. Remember to protect sensitive shrubbery from nighttime freezes. A string of holiday lights often provides enough warmth to do the job. Or support a bed sheet or clear plastic above and around (but not touching) plants at night. For plants that do get nipped, wait until March to prune off damaged stems no matter how unsightly they look, because the dead foliage will provide insulation against additional d...
When we look at perennial vegetables that grow in northern Utah, we see a very short list: rhubarb, asparagus and sometimes Jerusalem artichokes are strong enough to survive our cold winters. For me, my first memories of rhubarb were the row of plants that grew in the neighbor's yard. The plants were there when we moved into our house in 1955 and remained there for the entire time I was growing up.

This day will focus on choosing plants that are truly site-adapted, such as drought-tolerant succulents, native fe'rns and vines, and water thrifty conifers. You'll see how the finest gardens show a deep commitment to nurturing the living soil. You'll discover how to create gardens that work in harmony with nature. As designer and author Jennifer Hartley so eloquently writes, "While the typical vegetable garden is a bare rectangle of soil and mulch throughout the dormant season, the beauty of the potager is that it has year-round visual appeal and can incorporate permanent perennial or woody plantings around (or among) the annual plants. Evergreen shrubs are planted with perennial roses and annual vegetables. Thus, the potager is more than a vegetable plot: it becomes an outdoor room, w...

Shorter days, possibility of rain, colder mornings, possible snow in the higher locations and the activities of the holidays tend to put gardening on the back burner. There are many gardening activities that can be done inside, such as making certain that your favorite seed and plant catalogs have arrived. Then you can take advantage of sunny, warmer day when it arrives, tempting us to spend it outdoors.

Yet another obstacle is Vermont's climate. [Craig Volpe] concedes, "A forest garden in Costa Rica would be a lot nicer." The trick, once again, is to select hardy northern species. "Our trees are outdoors all the time," says [David Fried]. His nursery's slogan is: "If it grows where we are, it will grow where you are" -- no idle boast to anyone familiar with the deep-freeze winters in the Northeast Kingdom. For some local goals, perhaps "bits and pieces" of [Robert Hart]'s grand sustainability scheme are enough. For my mom, who enlisted Volpe to dig up her lawn, getting rid of the expanse of grass -- or "monoculture," as environmentalists call it -- was the whole point. She says, "It's all about cleaning the air, having more trees and less pollution from gas mowers. We'll always have ...
