My name is Chris Buscemi, and I live in Wells, Maine. You have posted my photos in the past (see A Profusion of Pink in Maine). Here are some of my favorite photos this year so far. This is in my front yard. I planted a pollinator garden full of pink coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea, Zones 3–8) and different-colored phlox (Phlox paniculata, Zones 4–8) and grasses. It is overflowing with bees, butterflies, and my favorite hummingbird sphinx moth. Chairs to sit in and enjoy the garden A butterf...

Yes, I realize that 2021 was the hottest on record with temperatures reaching 108°F, and we can expect the weather to continue to change radically. However, along with drought-tolerant plant choices we should also consider water-loving perennial plants. As wet as the climate can be in the Pacific Northwest, we should all be embracing plants that love moisture. The year 2022 has been a bad one for tender or nonhardy things in my garden, largely due to the wet weather. The hybrid strawberry tree ...

It might sound counterintuitive, but when the possibility of cooler weather arrives in fall, it’s time to think about spring flowers. Some of the best spring bloomers only do well if the seed is planted in the fall. The seed is surface sown after any mulch is applied and once the temperatures are cool. Sometimes the seed can be sown in October, but here in the South November is usually a better choice. The seeds germinate in mid to late winter and spend the remainder of the cold season as tiny...

Many of us in the Northeast struggle with the drier soil conditions found under tall evergreens, particularly the problematic summer-dry situations often found under towering Eastern white pines (Pinus strobus, Zones 3–8) and other forest trees. While few plants thrive in the sort of dark and dry shade found under a mature Norway spruce (Picea abies, Zones 2–7), there are more planting options once more light and spring moisture are introduced, such as under a pine (Pinus spp. and cvs., Zone...

Having grown up in New England, and living there now, I consider myself pretty spoiled in fall. After all, tourists literally flock to my section of North America every autumn to take in the sight of the native forests turning brilliant colors. We even have a term for these folks: leaf peepers. As I write this, I’m looking out my window at a sassafras (Sassafras albidum, Zones 4–9) that looks like someone lit it on fire. The orange, yellow, and red foliage glows so brightly that at certain t...
