Gardening ~ Blossom Swap Style

BS is a humorous garden site that offers an immeasurable amount of advice from experienced gardeners.

Please join us in our appreciation for dirt and all the beauty that can rise from beneath it.

Types of Flowers

Looking for certain types of flowers to grow in your garden? Maybe you should start with a favorite color and your zone. I'll share my favorites and show you how to search for yours.

Growing Tomatoes - Tomato Cages, Best Supports

Tired of those sissy tomato cages they sell at the garden centers? Create your own tomato cages that are industrial strength, yet easy and cheap to create.

Favorite Free Plant And Seed Catalogs

It's that time of year when plant and seed catalogs are sent out in droves. Perhaps you are new to the mailings or you might not be aware of a favorite of mine.

Starting Seeds

Why to start seeds:

Much cheaper if you want to grow a large amount of varieties.
More plants for a smaller investment.
It's a thrill to be involved in the growing process.
