It is a non-profit, educational web site that seeks to provide information on a selection of outstanding examples of garden art found in Japan while juxtaposing a diversity of media related to them.

For United States gardeners ... remember to fertilize your lawn around the summer holidays.  First on Memorial Day weekend to start the summer, again on Labor Day after the heat of the summer has passed, and finally near Halloween for a healthy lawn next spring.

Leafhoppers are 1/4 inch long pests that like to suck the juices right out leaves, buds,and stems.  You can keep these bugs away by planting petunias, geraniums and perennial grasses - they hate moisture and low light.
One way to get rid of lingering weeds in a newly prepared garden is to "solarize" them. Cover the area with clear plastic and let the sun do the work. This works best in hot climates.

Prevent the germination of weeds in your lawn or garden by using corn gluten. This also acts as a fertilizer. Will not kill the existing weeds or other already established plants.
