New Year’s Resolutions Glove Giveaway

On New Year’s Eve I committed to be a better person in 2012, but now it’s time to make my Gardening New Year’s Resolutions. That’s much more fun! Please send us your New Year’s Resolutions in the comments section below and we will reward our favorites with Womanswork Rose Leather Gauntlet gloves. All comments must be received by Jan. 31st.

Here are my 5 Gardening New Year’s Resolutions—

1. Harvest at least one lemon from the lemon tree growing in my greenhouse. (Below, lemon blossom in my greenhouse.)

2. Grow all of my container annuals for next summer from seed, including black-eyed Susan vine (below, at the New York Botanical Garden).

3. Memorize the major tree species in our region.

4. Begin replacing the pachysandra in our front yard with liriope, one of my favorite evergreen groundcovers (shown below).

5. Propagate lots of Streptocarpella saxorum plants in my greenhouse to give as gifts. The parent came from Ruth Clausen and it made a lovely present! (Below, streptocarpella rooting in water.)
