2024 is a big year for football fans and punters assessing the best sign-up offers, with Euro 24 in Germany kicking off in June. However, when studying the form of the players and sides ahead of the summer showpiece, have you ever stopped to wonder what a footballer has in his garden?

Do all gardeners secretly think they’ve got it the worst? For instance, because I garden in New England, I feel like the glacial till (aka unbelievably rocky soil) and massively unpredictable spring weather make my gardening more of a challenge than, say, that of gardeners living in Seattle. But is that true? Probably not.
Over the years I’ve heard lots of folks in horticulture refer to gardening as an act of resistance. To me, that has always seemed to have a negative connotation; I like to think about my hobby as an act of working within the bounds of nature to create something beautiful and beneficial.

Calla lilies are gorgeous flowers that grow well in moderate climates; when planting them, striking a balance in growing conditions is very important. For example, if you live in a hot, frost-free climate, grow them in the shade; in a slightly warm climate, provide partial shade; and in cold regions, find a spot that receives part to full sun for best growth.
