Super Gardening tips from friends and family

Herbs: The transplanted 20 year-old oregano plant has taken off: snipped off a few stems, rinsed and dried, placed in a paper bag in the kitchen cabinet and will have dried oregano in one to two weeks.  Thanks sis for this tip!

Tomato plants: Short on bees?  Gently tickle the inside of the yellow flowers with a q-tip that has the tip pulled out.

Dead head flowers: to keep your plants healthy and strong, deadhead (pinch off) the dead flowers.  Or, in the case of hydrangeas...snip off the finished blooms.

Will post some pixs soon...
