An informational website dedicated to the zen of gardening. Getting leggy as the summer wears on? Do you want to see the full and healthy-looking plants you purchased? Pinch 'em.

Within a few weeks you'll be surprised by the difference. Thanks to Andrew Stenning. Who contributed the photograph for our masthead.
