Red is an attention-grabbing color in the garden. Bold, loud, and bright. And it plays well with other colors as well – pair it with orange and yellow for a hot, exciting bed, or blues and purple to created a deep, rich, moody tone. Here are some of my favorite red blooms for the garden… what reds are you loving in your garden?
What I Made for Dinner as an Avid Gardener
16.12.2023 - 14:37 / bhg.com / BHG Editors
As winter approaches and we’re faced with another year of determining what's for dinner, we're sharing a glimpse at how BHG readers gather for a meal. Welcome to our new series, Dinner Diaries, where we're asking readers to anonymously share how they get dinner on the table including grocery shopping, budgeting, cooking, and their favorite family recipes. Here, a two-person household relies on garden-fresh produce and well-stocked pantry to get dinner on the table.
Once a week.
$150 or under. I have a massive vegetable garden and a mini orchard. In the winter, our budget is maybe $170.
Yes. I meal plan, so unless it’s on the list I don’t buy it.
Busch’s and ALDI.
Myself, unless we’re grilling and then it's my husband.

For produce, we always have a variety of berries, apples, stone fruits, grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, mushrooms, onions, potatoes, and a variety of fresh greens including spinach, kale, mesclun greens, and Swiss chard.
In the fridge, we keep eggs, cream cheese, butter, cheese including fresh mozzarella, homemade skyr, plain whole milk yogurt, and almond milk.
In the pantry we have nuts, brown rice, quinoa, farro, steel cut oats, orzo, dried beans including black beans and varietal mixed lentils, dried peas, dried mushrooms, teas, coffee, crushed tomatoes, salsa, yeast, and all varieties of flour from King Arthur Flour. We also have flavored olive oils, balsamic vinegars, and Penzeys spices. You'll also find cartons of chicken broth, seafood broth, beef broth, and consommé .
I always do the grocery shopping and the cleaning of our home. My husband does help with the upkeep on weekends and we share the outdoor chores including our massive vegetable garden and mini orchard.

Wishlist Plants for Foliage
Alright, one last wishlist post from me, your GPOD editor… This time I’m looking past flowers to foliage that I want to add to the garden. Everyone knows that foliage is the heart of a well-designed garden as it lasts so much longer than flowers. BUT I’m very guilty of being seduced by pretty flowers, so I need to really focus on stepping up my foliage game this year.

Essential Hand Tools for the Desert Gardener
Some people are particular about the garden tools they use. Others take it less seriously and are content with the cheapest things they can find. I’m somewhere in the middle. I’m not one to waste money on overpriced brands, but I do want durable tools that last a good while.
