A Little Gardening Tip
Hello and welcome to my little gardening patch on the Authors in Bloom blog hop! My gardening tip actually pertains more to houseplants than to actual gardens, though it could probably apply there as well! And it is this: ween. Whenever you see leaves that are yellowed, dried out, or both, pull them off. This not only makes the plant look nicer without all that dead stuff on it, but it also allows the plant to grow more. Kind of like trimming your hair to get rid of split ends so it will grow!

ReplyDeleteAs for gardening I have a willow tree out front and I keep having issues with 2 of the branches I'm debating removing both and hoping my tree will flourish more.
Savannah, thank you so much! It's always wonderful to get feedback from readers. I appreciate it. I am also working on the next book in the series!
DeleteThanks for the great advice, I kill plants like I'll get a prize for it in the end and can use all the help I can get on keeping them alive.

Is it weird that one of my favorite things is to dead-head my plants?! Lol!
ReplyDeleteI do not have a green thumb but my mom and dad both do so go figure. LOL Sloane Wold sounds really good and a beautiful cover!
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for my plants. They used to look so wonderful... And then we got a cat. In the beginning we kept her from them, but we've gotten lax.

I enjoy taking a stroll in my gardens every day and dead-head. It gives me a chance to reflect and appreciate the beauty of the blooms.
