Sunny perennial favorites

By def­i­n­i­tion peren­ni­als are plants that con­tinue to bloom year after year. Annual plants only bloom once in a sea­son, and bien­ni­als bloom every other sea­son. Peren­ni­als are by the far the most pop­u­lar of plants for most gar­den­ers due to their ease of care and the col­or­ful rewards. Also, peren­ni­als have many diverse cul­ti­vars, select­ing them can be a chal­lenge. Peren­ni­als begin bloom­ing in the spring and fin­ish as the snow hits the ground in late fall. A well selected peren­nial gar­den will allow you to have depth and vari­ety as well as an abun­dance of color bloom­ing for many of the seasons.

Hungry for lasagna?

The lasagna I am refer­ring to is a gar­den method not an entrée. Lasagna gar­den­ing was started and made pop­u­lar in the late 1990s. It is an age old idea to start com­post­ing with a new twist or two.
