More bulb forcing fun! I chilled these tulips 🌷 for about 12 weeks in my refrigerator crisper drawer then put them in pebbles in a large vase and placed them in filtered sun. They bloomed in 4 weeks. #gardendc #bulbs #bulbchat

Before the snowstorm hit yesterday, I spotted these crocus popping up in my garden. It should be fine under the snow and bloom once it melts. #gardendc #dmv #bulb #bulbchat @gardensky.bsky.social

Creeping Jenny can tolerate light foot traffic and is extremely low-maintenance. It needs no fertilizer or annual pruning, simply cut out any dead or wandering stems as you notice them...See the full plant profile at

The snowcrete is finally starting to melt. I hated every ice-rain drop and snowflake of it - but it does look pretty in hindsight from my recent visit to #brooksidegardens #gardendc #dmv #snowsculpture

We are mourning the demise of the Washington Post - years ago the WaPo #gardening coverage was cut back then cut again and so we stepped in and started a local digital publication, YouTube channel, and podcast just for our growing region. Please support indie journalists. #gardendc #dmv #dcgardens
