I waited until there was no threat of Frost. Seems most around here went with the warmer than normal temperatures.

So I’m running weeks behind.

I guess my Lawn looked like it needed mowing.

Thing is I have been mowing it high because I hit less rocks and it’s better for the Lawn.

Guy came mowed my Lawn and mowed it much shorter.

My wife said it looked mowed.

I'm a novice gardener. Can you tell me the best way to amend clay soil to plant lavender. Thanks

I was thinking on using some water soluble fertilizer in the water I place my tomato suckers in so I can clone the plant but cant find a recipe online for fertilizer. To my surprise I find they use sugar for cut flowers. I wasn't aware plants used sugar since there are zero nutrients in sugar so how does that work?

I love my Iris's this time of year. They stand up tall and even when done blooming look great. By midsummer they are always laying flat with open space in the middle. Anything I can do to keep them standing nice and upright throughout the summer?
