It is a time when we all review, reflect, dream, set goals, and plan. I did one of my favorite planning activities today and started my seed orders. The list of varieties is getting smaller, but the quantities larger. Sort of like a wardrobe, over time you figure out what works for you and abandon…

People often ask me what are easy annual flowers to grow in Alaska for cutting. If you have the space and want to get a head start…
