    A Flowering Tree...

    I have a wild crab apple tree out back and it gets flowers like that, but the apples are about 1/2 inch around. Tiny little things. But my Cortland has blossoms like that. It's still have some now and I'm in zone 5.

    Watching Me

    She looks like she's got some Appaloosa in her. No wonder she's a smart cookie. :)

    Don't do this!

    This was wonderful! I laughed so much. Did the bathroom get painted a nice fleshtone? Something else you don't ever want to do while wearing shorts and prepping a door for painting is to smack a fly off your leg with a brass brush. That hurts. A lot. And it puts lots of little holes in your...

    Wisteria blooming

    There's an old farm down the street from here that has a couple trained in tree form. They're not very tall. Probably only about 5 or 6 feet, but the trunks are probably about 6 - 8 inches through. They're on either side of the house, but out in the yard where they can't climb on anything. They...

    Cutting all the tree's

    I had to have a couple 100 year old trees taken down and I just can't imagine having such a devasting thing as what's happening to you. When my neighbors do things to their yards that I don't like I just try to block it out and tell myself it's none of my business, but sometimes it's real hard...

    What is this bush?

    I think I'd ask whoever the property owner is and maybe even do a little research as to who's memory its planted for. I have two very small starts of periwinkle from an 1800's family graveyard that's not kept up anymore and I remember what I've read of the people and what I know from my own...

    Asiatic Lily

    They even look like sunshine. What a thoughtful friend. :)

    clay soil

    Jade, I know my grandma used to have red raspberries and mint out in the front yard and it didn't seem to spread. Grandpa just mowed around it and it kept it the same size. There was probably about 2 feet square of mint with about 6 or 8 feet by 2 feet of berries.

    What kind of trees and shrubs?

    I have maples and a transplanted Eastern cedar in my immediate yard and a variety in the woods. For orchard trees I have 2 peach, 1 nectarine, 1 plum, 1 Cortland apple, 1 Rome apple, 1 Golden Delicious. For shrubs I have a gold flame spirea, spirea japonica, burning bush, lavender colored...

    Amaryllis

    I have a couple bulbs I got at Kmart a few years ago. I potted them as it suggested and they've been in those pots ever since. I put them in my basement which is pretty dark most of the time, but there are a few windows. They started to sprout leaves about January and the leaves are about a foot...

    Clove Currants or Black Currants?

    I just sent you a pm Kya and then I saw you're in Utah. That's fine. :) From what I've been reading about black currants they're very good for you so I'm hoping to get them started.

    Clove Currants or Black Currants?

    She couldn't remember what color the flowers were, but she said you could smell them all over the yard so it may be the same thing. She knows someone whose brother works for a landscape company locally so he's going ask him about it. I'll let you know once I find out something. I'm really...

    I am just thrilled!

    Wow, how cool! I had one in California, but I think I probably killed it with kindness. I never saw one with blossoms. That's so neat!

    Clove Currants or Black Currants?

    My mom has me on a quest to find clove scented shrubs that she remembers from long time ago. The closest I've found is a clove currant or black currant called Crandall. Does anyone know anything about these? Am I on the right track? Her friend's friend in Pa. found a place in New Mexico that...

    Does it have to be done any special time of the year?

    Any zone 5 nut and peach growers?

    Black walnuts are the ambrosia of the scent and food world. I'm a zone 5 nut!! My next door neighbor has a walnut tree by his swimming pool. The tree was there first. The darn squirrels get the nuts and come over and perch in my peach trees and eat them. I find shells all over the place under...

    Tree loosing bark and rotting?

    When I had my maples pruned I asked the guy about my miniature nectarine and peach trees. They both had this trouble. The nectarine was at the base. I've noticed that the scarring is a few inches above ground level now so I'll try the spray method mentioned in that article once the weather warms...

    Mice gnawed the bark off my burning bush

    I used to before we lost WQLN here. Richard! Would you be a dear and dig a hole for my tree? Don't forget your tie and proper gloves! You know it's Tuesday and Mrs. Counsellor Nugent might be by. Hey, I'd have chased the truck down, too. :) If you can't save that particular piece of burning...

    Bare rooted maple tree question

    lol I was trying to be sneaky! Not really. And no, that's not the tree I hung upside down in. That's in the front yard where the whole world could see. My husband will be very happy being able to mow around the tree again. I'm not sure if he's priced topsoil, but it seems pretty weird to pay...

    Bare rooted maple tree question

    I have a maple that's very old and some of the roots are exposed above the ground to the point that hubby has a hard time mowing around it. I let the grass grow up a bit higher so I don't do it as often as he does. We know there can be problems with adding topsoil or mulching over roots. We...
