You can become a skilled boxwood bonsai propagator
Boxwood bonsai is a perfect tree in miniature, as it has dark green leaves that are able to reduce its size when trained as a miniature tree. When the spring comes, the bonsai will bloom with attractive and yellow male flowers, which is surrounded by a single female flower. It is easy to become a skilled boxwood bonsai propagator.
Boxwood bonsai is very strong because it can survive in extreme conditions, and it produces buds easily. Young boxwood bonsai can be propagated inside or outside.
You can start your bonsai from boxwood cuttings and air layering. You must ensure that you will perform the procedures for air layering and taking cuttings so that you can succeed in your bonsai propagation. Read more…

We weren’t disappointed. Our teacher and expert home brewer Dave Bossie knew his beers inside and out, and his setup alone was impressive—a large keg he’d customized for brewing mounted on an enormous camping stove. He gu
The Wonderful World of Dahlias
Often on tours of our farm someone will ask, “What’s that for?” referring to our dahlias. We respond, “Because they’re beautiful.” Although we don’t eat dahlias (although the tubers are edible and were probably once used for sustinence), we love their addition to our garden. We sometimes don’t get to spend as much time as we’d like planting and caring for our beloved dahlias, because it just so happens that dahlia season is the same time as tomato season. Lucky for us, we had a little help from our friend, Millie, or as we like to call her, the “Dahlia Queen.”
Millie was gracious enough to donate some of her and her friends’ prized bulbs for us to plant on our hillside outside our pasture fence.
