Laura, that sounds like a trenching shovel. They are really handy, especially at cutting thick roots. Trenching shovels and a solid garden tine are excellent tools for dividing perennials. I love Sum and Substance. It is a star in a shady area where…
Sum and Substance are fast growers and they spread quickly and easy to transplant...I used a sharp knife to cut through them.
hostas, ferns, caladiums, astilbe, celandine poppies, and bleeding hearts are beautiful in early spring. these are all fairly fool proof. check with your local nursery for other varieties for you zone. i especially love the pink caladiums but they d…
i divide mine in spring when the shoots are easy to see and i know where to make the divisions. i use a a shovel with a long narrow blade and a short handle. i don't know what the official name for it is but it is my favorite type of gardening shove…

- Playing in the dirt is my passion and favorite indulgence. I have had all types of gardens except water. That is still on my wish list. Gardening is therapeutic and so much more productive than lying on a couch blaming my mother... LOL. I am an elementary teacher and third generation gardener in my family. There is nothing more exciting than sharing a passionate love for gardening with another and watching it grow like the beautiful gardens one plants. This year i have opened my door each morning at 7:00 to a hummingbird enjoying my cleomes and salvia. I have never had a hummongbird regularly before. It thrills me! I moved here last summer and it was a blank slate for me this year. I have a little bit of every thing so am having fun finding what will work best in each area. You can see i could go on...
