Weather is incredibly localized, and understanding exactly how much rain, snow, or hail falls in your own backyard can help you take on a more proactive approach to your garden. This week, we’re exploring CoCoRaHS and how you can use that data to predict when you should cover your tender plants for an incoming storm or if you should bother watering that day.

After a particularly busy weekend tackling the garden beds, Colin tracked his fitness to see exactly how much "work" he was doing. The results are amazing. Gardening is a heavy-duty, full-body workout that most of us are severely underestimating.

Gardening forums can be convenient spaces to connect with other gardeners, but if you go in with a problem, they can often leave you more confused than when you started. We're diagnosing a sad hanging basket, talking Peony tea, and unveiling a new plant in Brandi's garden that comes straight out of Bridgerton.
