My Japanese maple tree started to leaf out this spring, then just stopped. The leaves that began to grow, shriveled and died, and nothing else has happened. |

Everyone and I mean everyone, has tried growing a tomato plant some time in their gardening lives. I don't know what it is about the humble tomato that keeps us coming back to it. |

Container gardening, although not a new idea, is one of the hottest trends in gardening for 2005. Decorative pots have become as varied as the plants available to grow in them. Container gardening has increased partly due to the development of good potting mixes, the increased new varieties of flowering plants, and trees and shrugs that are suitable for growing in containers, and partly because of the changing life-styles in America. |

Now that autumn is beginning to make an appearance, we will concentrate on preparing your landscape for the winter ahead. Many people know the usual routine of raking leaves, planting bulbs for spring, mulching to protect the roots from freezing nights, and cutting back perennials. However, the lawn is frequently overlooked in these preparation processes. "Hey," the lawn interjects, "I'm part of the landscape too!" So listen to your lawn, and learn how you can help it better survive the coming winter. A good place to start is with lawn aerification. |

Along with the grasses greening up comes the emergence of weeds. The application of a good pre-emergent herbicide application in the spring is very important. Now is the time to apply a pre-emergent on lawns and shrub beds. |

What does it mean when you are told that a shrub blooms on "new wood" or "old wood" and why is it important for a gardener or homeowner to know? Flowering shrubs set flower buds and bloom either on "old wood", stems that grew during the previous year, or on "new wood", growth that is produced during the current year. |
