Two new articles are up at my Flower Garden site at Garden and Hearth.
Insects Wanted in the Flower Garden is a list of a few types of beneficial insects that most people are probably familiar with. I often see gardeners spraying pesticides and crushing every bug they see. Being polite, I don't tell them that they are just making extra work for themselves, but I hope this article enlightens at least a few of those gardeners.
The second article is a short glossary-type piece defining the terms you might come across on a package of bulbs (because now is the time to be planting them in the Northern Hemisphere, but you knew that, right?) It defines bulb, corm, rhizome, tuber, and tuberous root, as well as pointing out the differences between fall bulbs (bulbs planted in the fall to bloom in the spring) and fall-blooming bulbs.
