What is this blog (Plant Facts)

Being a hobby grower and always wanting to try new plants I generally have issues knowing when to harvest, when to water, prune, or even where to plant.  How easy is a certain plant to grow? How much space will it take up?   These are all the questions I find my self asking when I plant a seed, seedling, tree, or bush.  Hopefully this blog will be able to help you decide if you want to plant it, have the time or space to try a plant.  I am sure it will take some time to get the blog where I want it to be, but hopefully someday it will be like looking at the back of a seed pack with many extras.   Questions on a plant certain plant or want featured let me know and I will see what I can do.

Soil- Commonly potted kept outside during ideal weather conditions and moved indoors for extremely warm and cold weather. Water- You need to make sure and keep your Citrus tree well watered. It is best to maintain your soil moist at all times. Meyer lemon trees need less water in winter due to low light levels.
