I decided to start with Maple because it is probably the most common shade tree anywhere in the US. They are top performers and live long if you pick a species that is best for your zone, or climate. They are typically easy to care for and are absolutely beautiful in the fall. […]
Just a quick review, since we’ll be talking a lot about trees. There are two main “types” of trees, evergreen and deciduous. Evergreens, as everyone knows, stay green all year round, and are cut down for Christmas trees. Well, not all evergreens are used for Christmas trees, which I would like to […]
I witnessed something truly touching yesterday. A lady in a nursing home was being pushed through the home’s garden by some one I assume was her older granddaughter.

I think Ohio has something against lady peas, or as they are called in the south, purple hulls. I have searched high and low for this bean, but I can find no local stores that carry the seeds. I grew up with this particular vegetable and fondly remember that they went really well […]
Once again I am extremely glad I didn’t plant anything yet. We had sunny 76 degree weather all last week. This week, literally right on Monday, it dropped to the into the 30’s and has been snowing on and off. While I can definitely be glad that my annuals will not be […]
