If you have tropicals—like hibiscus—that winter indoors and tend to sunburn (leaves turn white/translucent) in their first few outdoor days in spring, here is my simple, inexpensive, and effective solution. Make a canopy of cheesecloth (from Amazon), 4 tall sticks (from Amazon or garden center), twisty ties. Using this, you can place them in their sunny location right away—no need to gradually transition them to full sun. In Wisconsin, I move my tropicals outside in mid to late May when nighttime temps stay above 45. I leave the canopy on my hibiscus for about a week, then they are “hardened” and do not get burned.

Despite little rain and very hot temperatures, the “tropical” front yard doesn’t look too bad. #windmillpalm #trachycarpusfortunei #oleander #bismarckpalm #bismarckianobilis #tiplants #hibiscus #chinesefanpalm #livistonachinensis #pygmydatepalm #phoenixroebelenii #tropical #northerngarden #carmelindiana #indianagarden (at Carmel, Indiana)

Left my rhubarb in a pot last tear, and figured it was a goner (zone 4/5 or thereabouts, which means things don't generally overwinter in pots). It's coming back though, like a trooper, with growth points coming up all over the pot! Will have to find it a permanent home this summer. #gardening #rhubarb #toughnativeplants #northerngardening

I have been in the Inuvik Greenhouse a bit these last few days, tending to the garden. Lots of things are starting to come up: beets, lettuce, spinach, beans, carrots... We also planted some tomato, pepper, and cauliflower plants this past weekend. Excited for this coming weekend: flower sale! They already look gorgeous!
