I am a very beginner in the garden this year. I read everything I can get my hands on (regarding gardening on the central coast of california).
I have gathered tons of information, but few real details. I understand the general purpose of deadheading flowers in general. But do I use snips, can I just pull them off and is it only the flower petals?
thanks so much for replies… Lyn
