Pruning Blackberries in 3 Steps via Gardenerd [Video]

Our latest YouTube video shows you how to prune unruly blackberries before spring bud in 3 steps. We won’t say it’s easy, because…well, blackberries have thorns that catch on everything. But if you follow these steps you’ll get the job done efficiently and effectively.

Christy dons her bee suit (you’ll find out why) to prune old growth and dead canes to ready the garden for spring fruiting. If you learn how to prune properly, you’ll stimulate new growth when the weather warms up.

From Gardening Don'ts (1913) by M.C. 31

DON’T be narrow-minded.
Give your neighbour
a bit of that rare plant he
covets, even if there lurks

a tiny hope

that it won’t flourish quite as
well as it has done with you!

Interesting Plant: Cosmos bipinnatus “Cupcake Blush”

By on June 2nd, 2020

Interesting Plant: Cosmos bipinnatus “Cupcake Blush”

Interesting Plant: Cosmos bipinnatus
Photo: Floret Flowers

Discovered this via the article 13 unique and interesting plants to grow in your garden on the Greener Living Blog. There are quite a few plants I will highlight here in future posts. — Douglas

This irresistible new cosmos reminds us of the Sugarplum Fairy. The pale blush petals on this large bloomer are fused together forming a teacup shaped flower. Blooms are as big as the palm of your hand and the edges look like they have been cut with pinking shears. This romantic variety is a mix of single, semi double, streaked and solid flowers. Perfect for wedding work. A must grow!- Floret Flowers
