Every year in the garden, or container garden has at least one new lesson for me. What is your lesson for the year? Mine: Lemon Grass needs more winter light than I can give it at this time. Even though it goes semi-dormant in cool weather, it needs temperatures above 50* F and bright light to survive. I can give it the temperature, but where I am has no natural light in the winter.

Can you believe we are already a week into July? I think my head is still in April.🌞 Beings we are nearly in our second week, it's time to design our exclusive PSG July T-shirt! And as always we start with a garden themed phrase. We have just a few days to get our votes in on our favorite that we would love to see in this months T-shirt design. Be sure to get your vote in to help create another fun garden themed shirt.
