Got a chronic case of green
thumb? Like getting your hands dirty? Adrian Higgins, garden
editor for The Post's Home section, is here to help. Higgins
is a firm believer in "tough plants for tough times"
-- the varieties that combine good looks with stiff resistance
to disease and pests. He currently rules over a garden filled
with spring bulbs, daffodils, ornamental onions, perennials,
asters, yarrows, hostas and day lilies. Higgins, an avid
organic gardener who believes chemicals are a last resort,
also tends his own herb and vegetable gardens where he grows
peas, garlic, onions, lettuce, rhubarbs, radishes, carrots
and more.
He was online Tuesday, Sept. 2 to offer advice on lawns,
flower beds, vegetable patches and window boxes.
