Question of the Week 1: March 9, 2017"Neil, my lovely Bradford pear has just split down the middle. How can I save it? How should I prune it?" This is a critical topic relating to our most popular spring-flowering tree. Don't miss the answer. Photo: A pear that split about 10 months ago. |

Question of the Week 2: March 9, 2017"Neil, why won't my wisteria bloom?" Hands down, when people start talking about vines, that's the question I'm asked most often. I'll try to answer it for you. Photo: Oh, if only all wisterias could bloom this well. |

And, in closingThat's it for e-gardens. If you enjoyed it, please tell your friends. If you didn't, please tell your dog. We'll reappear digitally and magically at this same time next week with your next edition. Join me on Facebook, on the radio, in many newspapers, at my website, on my podcasts, in a local independent retail garden center (only places I generally shop) and in church this Sunday. Oh, one more invitation: Due to recurring vertigo I have only a couple of book signings scheduled this spring. One is two weeks away. March 25 as part of the big Ellis County Master Gardeners Expo at the Waxahachie Convention Center, US 287 at I-35E. I'll sign books at 11 and speak just a little bit later - details here next week. Over and out with hugs and handshakes! Happy gardening! Neil |
