My Best and Easiest Garden Tip

by Marilyn Scoles (shown here with lil' Maggie)

For a last hurrah, use Gro-Power's Flower-n-Bloom fertilizer after cutting back your plants and shrubs. In three weeks, you'll have all new blooms! Just like spring all over again!

Thanks, Marilyn! I checked into it and found out that Gro-Power is organic and is available nationwide through independent garden centers. And these pics of Marilyn's garden are certainly a good testimonial to its blooming power!

Thanks again, Marilyn! Hope you enjoy your Flower Carpet roses! And anyone else who wants to send in their garden tips and tricks, please know they're welcome here, anytime!
