Carol asks…
As a gift, I’m looking for recommendations on a great pair of gardening gloves for my mom.?
GardenersCardiff answers:
As a long time gardener and one who worked in the industry and tried probably every glove on the market… I always go back to leather. Not the heavy work gloves but the fitted, soft leather with breatable synthetic uppers. Machine washable too. I got mine at Home Depot.

Christmas Gift ideas (vintage & gardening)?
I have a friend she is looking to receive a gift this Christmas. She’s very much into vintage stuff, and gardening. She’s in her 30’s but a very young personality. She also owns her own vintage shop, so she knows “her vintage”. Help me with some gift ideas???
GardenersCardiff answers:
On Sarah’s house(HGTV). They bought old frames and put in postage stamps. Maybe you can find older stamps with a garden theme and frame them.

I really can’t think of anything!

Go find a medium size basket from Goodwill – then go to dollar store/Wal-Mart – Load it up with microwave popcorn, chips, cookies, crackers and different kinds of sodas.

What is the best or worst thing about your garden zone?
Also if you could change your zone which would that be? And why?
GardenersCardiff answers:
I think the best thing about my gardening zone is the weather. Living in So. Cal., we can grow things pretty much year round and don’t have to move plants inside or cover them in the Winter or worry about the snow and cold killing them. Having said that, though, the soil in my area is basically like clay — very hard and difficult to dig. And like a previous respondent said, weeds run amok. I can pull them one day, and when I go back outside the next day, there are new ones already growing!
If I could change my zone, I think I might choose Zone 1. At certain times of the year, it would be SO cold there that nothing could possibly grow, so I’d just pack up the gardening gloves and enjoy the snow.
Maria asks…
We live in Winnipeg MB, gardening Hardiness Zone 3a. We are planting perennial Mum plants this fall.?
Are wondering how we winterize these e.g. Cut the plants down to ground level etc.
GardenersCardiff answers:
Perennial mums are zoned for zone 3-9. Although it really depends on the cultivar as to its hardiness.
Florist Mums are not as hardy as others.
Mulch them and create a microclimate to shelter them from winter winds. If you can’t plant them on the south side of your house, build a modified version of the shrub shelters used for winter protection.You can build shrub shelters out of natural materials.
Or you can build an A-frame (or “snow frame”) out of store-bought lumber. Don’t prune in fall: existing branches offer the roots protection.
Prune in Spring.
