Good Gardening

Spring is typically planting time, but right now may be a good time to think about things you want to grow next year.

Roasting and freezing tomatoes is an easy, drool-producing way to keep the summer bounty all the way until next year.

KLCC's John Fischer shares some thoughts on the need to let electrons take over as purveyors of the written word.

The mindset of "don't bother trying to change things that don't matter" will help you focus on the things that really matter when it comes to gardening.

John Fischer has some steps you can take to keep your house cooler, without using more energy, during our next heat wave.

Being an organic gardener doesn't mean you don't fight pests with spray bottles- it just means what you put in the bottle is not a synthetic chemical.

Generally speaking, the movers of the bug world - praying mantis, lady beetles, spiders and dragonflies are good for your garden, and should not be harmed.

If you want the look and feel of the tropics in your garden this summer, you don't need a greenhouse - you just need the right plants.

Many of us are making big efforts to reduce our personal carbon footprint - maybe better called our climate footprint. But most of us have two footprints, and the bigger one may land at work.

Herbicides kill herbs - aka plants, and while chemical herbicides like RoundUp get all the publicity, organic herbicides can be just as effective without the environmental consequences.

John Fischer says, like most zealots, he can be so focused on the solution to a problem that he' may have forgotten to listen to the whole story.

Proper pruning could help preserve the urban forest during the next storm.
