If you want your plant babies to survive the trek, prep should actually start weeks before the big day.

Your green, growing friends need a little help to stay fresh and healthy.

Both have pros and cons, but finding what's right for you depends on a few things.

You can enjoy fresh lemons all year round, even if your climate would have you believe otherwise.

Aeration helps you grow thicker, stronger grass that takes less effort to maintain.

Seeds do expire, but if you store them right they can last up to 10 years.

An overhaul of your lawn doesn't have take a whole lot of effort. You can just cover it up.

Growing your own sprouts reduces the risks of bacteria—and makes you more likely to take advantage of their nutrients.

You can train your plants to grow more full or guide them to grow upward.

Once you learn the ropes, orchids can be a gift that keeps on giving.

Not all fences have to be of the "white picket" variety.

They can grow to 15 feet tall and smell like rotten meat when they open, which is awesome.
