Planting a Balled and Burlapped Serviceberry Tree 1 Citation To all of you who guessed Serviceberry-congrats! You all know the best kept secret amongst good gardeners. Not really sure why more serviceberries are not planted, but they are purported to be wonderful trees. We'll see since Tiger Gardens now has its very own serviceberry in the garden. When I planned out my Patio Garden, I had all intentions of purchasing a real tree to go into this garden. What is a real tree? A real tree is a big, very big tree, with a very big root ball to match. Prior, technorati.com

Waiting for the Laurel & Rhododendron--Take Two 1 Citation or, within the mists of Meadow Mountain. In my relentless pursuit of the Mountain Laurel bloom this year, I received a report that mid-Garrett Co., MD had a good bloom that began early last week. Thus, this past weekend I was in that area capturing a very prolific bloom on the eastern side of Meadow Mountain. It was quite misty that morning--the result of heavy rains and soaring temperatures. Actually, we were quite lucky during our trip because we managed to dodge every thunderst, technorati.com

1 Citation One of the great benefits of living in a community such as the Okanogan Valley is the wealth of agricultural and wild craft knowledge. It is so simple for me to consult a farmer for just about any product and get their opinion on the best methods in preparing the foods and so much more valuable information and ideas. The knowledge of wild craft and when and where to harvest is equally abundant. I was recently invited to join a group of women to pick Saskatoon Berries. When I first moved ou, technorati.com

1 Citation This spring so far has been a little warmer than usual, great for blooming plants. However that is to change tonight. I decided that since the weather is reverting to winter, with freezes forcast for the next couple of nights, I had to get out and take some pictures of things that are blooming. They might not last much longer. This Saxifraga Bergenia 'Perfect' is blooming for the first time. I have been so thrilled with this plant. I have tried to grow it several places in the garden but, technorati.com

Amelanchier - Serviceberry trees and shrubs 1 Citation Infested ash tree Toronto's war with the emerald ash borer resumes next month, when the bug will come out of the woodwork, literally, for mating season. The metallic green beetle, which has killed more than one million trees in southwestern Ontario, was discovered in Toronto in 2007 and has since infested 6% of the city's street trees -- about 27,000 ashes. It is expected to demolish the city's ash trees in the next 10 years. We have four very large, mature ash trees around our house, technorati.com

1 Citation So after three years of fighting the rabbits and the birds, I finally scored three ripe berries from my serviceberry. Hooray! w00t! (not to size) They taste a bit like a mild blueberry with that sort of generic fruit skin thing going on. Everything says to make jam out of them, but if I beat the birds to every possible berry on my shrub, I?d have maybe 20 (minus these three that I ate). So, I?ll just do like we did when I was shorter in the blueberry and raspberry patches?pick ?em and e, technorati.com
