Gardening blog's helpful posts of the week [Week 9]

What tips and helpful posts are other great gardening bloggers offering? Check this weeks half dozen out.

  • If you're like Anthony from Compost Bin you might find yourself using one of these little gardening lies. I'm notorious for using the "I’m going out to the garden, I’ll be back in a minute" one. I could actually guess that it might be standard practice amongst gardeners anyway.
  • Mary Ann from Idaho Gardener has come out with a list of gardening predictions for 2007. Her tip for big, bold containers certainly seems to be a correct forecast as garden supply companies have really lifted their game in this area.
  • Rick, The Whispering Crane Institute's owner shares some history on Linaeus' Flower Clock. In a nutshell, it was a method for trying to calculate the time based on when flowers, predominantly wildflowers, would open up. Uncanny, but as Rick states - fairly impractical.
  • Mr Brown Thumb reminds us to keep our eyes peeled for cheap bulbs. Rather than pay full retail on our plants, it's best to take some time to peruse the discounted aisle.
  • If you're looking for a little inspiration for landscaping that tight driveway, Roy from Frog Garden and his wife Larraine have come up with a great way to enhance it.
  • And last, but certainly not least, Kenny from Veggie Gardening Tips shares how to grow potato onions. That's right - potato onions! You heard it ...second, right here on Gardening Tips n Ideas. (The lengths we go to)
