Being a gardener has it's ups and downs.Looking back through photos from 2007 onwards was sad - it showed up how poor my garden has been this year. My goal is to make next year more colorful and disease free than this year.Dorryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02494260425203151390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467721805611742631.post-62617025499640444022012-08-04T20:33:21.324-04:002012-08-04T20:33:21.324-04:00Do you know what did in the cedar?

We're still hoping our hemlocks are doing o.k. with the chemical assistance they got a year or two ago. Next up for destruction will be ash trees. I hear there is some foreign force creeping our way and killing them all. The one I'm not going to cry when it reaches us is rose rosette. It will kill all kinds of roses, which is sad, but the main victim is the noxious multiflora rose.Cheryl K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16895151046682701754noreply@blogger.com
