By parttimegardener September 19, 2015 | A Method of Cleaning Sempervivum and Jovibarba Seeds I did quite a few crosses this year and, when it came to cleaning up the seeds, I found this method quite helpful in saving some time and avoiding the loss of too many seeds blown away with the debris.

Hamilton Square Perennial Garden is one of three large gardens thriving in the Sacramento Historic City Cemetery. It is an all-volunteer labor of love. The concept of a garden cemetery may strike some as unusual, but it is now a much lovelier place to rest in peace or to just visit than in its past incarnation as a derelict and vandalized city-owned property. Hamilton Square has upwards of 50 Salvias. Here are a few with qualities that bring as much joy as their flowers. (782 words - Read the full article) |

Tropical Plants & More (drdawg) has my vote as a top-notch producer and seller! I purchased 2 Fiddle Leaf plants (1 medium-sized, 1 seedling) and I'm very happy with the outcome! The plants were meticulously wrapped and arrived without any damage. It is evident that he takes great care and pride in growing his plants as they are healthy and the leaves are lush green. I also enjoyed reading the insert he provides. He shares a personal story about how he raised the plant and the best options to ensure its survival. Customer service at its best! I have already made another purchase! -Kielenani
Received my hosta (Empress Wu) today; beautiful plant, much bigger than I expected and very healthy. Well packaged, in good condition. I'd definitely recommend them. Prices are very good, especially if you want to buy larger numbers and are willing to get slightly smaller plants (not that much smaller than the ones I see in big box stores!)
I was very lucky to win a crepe myrtle from this company during the August Not A Raffle Raffle. I knew that the plant would be good, from the other winners posting pictures of theirs before mine arrived. Still, I couldn't believe how totally fantastic my plant was, in person! It was very tall and healthy, and in a huge pot! It was packed safely for shipping, and customer service was also excellent! This is my very first crepe myrtle, and I know I'll be buying more from this company in the future!
We keep growing, because ATP is where all the excitement is these days! Check out these numbers from last week:
