  2. How to keep weeds out of garden

    This is the time of the weed warrior. The army of weeds is on the march, and they must be slain before they unleash the ultimate weapon: more seeds.

  5. Stopping gypsy moths

    Homeowners in some parts of DuPage, Jo Daviess, Will and Winnebago counties may see small aircraft spraying the treetops in late June or early July as part of an effort to stop the spread of gypsy moths.

  6. Ground cover, trees partner well

    When grass fails to grow in the shade of trees, turn to shade-tolerant perennial ground cover. They don't need as much sun as grass. They are better for the tree, since they don't compete as much with its roots. And since you only plant them once, you will do less harm to the tree's roots than if you plant annual flowers around the tree every year.

  10. Power planter: Susan Beard's jaw-dropping garden

    Turn into Susan Beard's drive, and you'll notice right away: Spring-flowering bulbs are strewn like a pastel carpet beneath spreading trees and a sea of white narcissus rises to meet the road in front of the house. The native tree species, drifts of grape hyacinths, camassia, leucojum, corydalis, trillium, bloodroot, trout lilies and celandine poppies rub elbows with more than 300 varieties of hostas -- any of these could be signs of the obvious: an extraordinary gardener lives here.

  11. Call a truce with garden insects

    Some of a gardener's best friends are bugs. Yes, bugs. Many of the insects and other creepy-crawlies in our flower beds and vegetable patches and on trees are doing good work. Most are harmless, though there are a few that might do our plants significant harm.
