Crossvine Hits the Big TimeThis must be "the" year for crossvines. Folks have come out of the woods to share photos on my Facebook page the past several days - enough so that I decided it might be a good time to feature it here. Photo: Tangerine Beauty crossvine at its best! Photo by Cyndi G. |

Gardening This WeekendIn the hopes that you'll have a bit of time over the next several days to spend out in your landscape and garden, I've created a short list of tall tasks that need your attention. You might want to look through them. Photo: Planting coleus has always been a ritual of my springtime. |

Question of the Week - Number 2: April 2, 2020"Why are pieces of bark falling off my tree?" I
get this question frequently, and it's almost always in the spring.
I'll explain what is happening and why it's now. Photo: Bark is popping off mature elm. |

Question of the Week - Number 3: April 2, 2020"My crape myrtles don't look like they're going to put out any leaves. Are they dead? What would have caused that?" They're not dead, but they've been sent back to "Go." I have the details. Photo: Sadly, we're seeing crape myrtles that look like this. |
