With their vibrant colors and graceful blooms, they establish well, thrive through our short growing season, and best of all—they’re tough. Unlike many other bulbs, lily bulbs don’t need to be dug up each fall. They endure the harsh winter and even multiply, rewarding gardeners with more beauty each passing year. But with beauty comes the beast— the red lily beetle ( Lilioceris lilii ). First Signs of Invasion Last year, I noticed these striking but destructive beetles on my lilies, along with their unsightly larvae. That’s when the war began. These beetles may look pretty in their brilliant scarlet armor, but they’re anything but welcome. As soon as you approach the plant, they drop to the ground and lie on their backs, becoming nearly invisible against the soil. Sneaky and frustrating. The red lily beetle lays tiny red eggs in neat...

  What I Wish I Knew When I Started Gardening in Zone 3 Ten years ago, I started my garden without much knowledge of what would thrive in Zone 3. I’ve made plenty of mistakes—planting the wrong varieties, overstuffing beds, underestimating how aggressive some perennials can be. But with time, trial, and some stubborn plants that refused to die, I’ve learned which ones not only survive but thrive. If you're in a colder climate and want a garden that’s both beautiful and easy to manage long-term, here’s what I’ve learned—no fluff, just what works. Perennials Over Annuals—Especially as You Age When I started, I leaned heavily on annuals. The bursts of color were tempting, but replacing them every year became exhausting—and expensive. Perennials are a smarter investment. They come back every spring, often stronger, and once they’re established, they need less maintenance. As I’ve gotten older, I appreciate that I can enjoy a full garden without replanting half of it every year. It’s...

We're losing the little things that hold respect and connection together. Here's why acknowledging someone matters more than ever—and how we can bring it back. It’s a small gesture—one that takes just a second—but it means everything. A simple “hello,” a nod, or even eye contact when someone enters a room. Yet increasingly, both kids and adults seem to skip this basic act of acknowledgment. And it’s hard not to ask: where did good manners go? We live in a time of increasing disconnection. Despite being constantly plugged into devices, we’ve become more unplugged from one another. Social greetings—those small, everyday rituals like saying “good morning” or acknowledging someone’s presence—aren’t just polite formalities. They’re foundational acts of respect. They say, I see you. You matter. What Happened to “Hello”? There are a few reasons this social breakdown is happening. First, socialization at home has shifted. Kids typically learn manners by watching adults. If they grow ...
