Questions:
 Q: My employee
went to a doctor's office with a severe rash and the doctor told him
that it was poison sumac. Do we have that here? - Rob Mulaik
 Q: My neighbor
has no idea what this shrub is. The flower looks like a camellia bloom
and has something inside that looks like a rose hip. - Susan W.
 Q: My Knockout
roses are pretty hardy, but something is decimating them, right down to
the veins. - Sue Williams
Garden Calendar:
 Fill bird feeders with
black oil sunflower seeds. Birds will find and eat each seed and you
won't accidentally feed chipmunks and rats.

Tip:
The Garden Fence
 Almost all landscapes
have some type of fence. Even though the fence may represents the
sudden end of the garden, it doesn't have to be a harsh structure void
of any attractive features. To the contrary, the garden fence can be a
wonderful opportunity in which to grow vertical in your landscape.

Cool Plant:
Emerald Green Arborvitae (Thuja
occidentalis 'Smaragd')
 Evergreen tree native
to the Eastern U.S. This cultivar of our Eastern Arborvitae is one of
the most versatile plants available. Much smaller than a leyland
cypress, it can be used as a screen, focal point or to soften the edges
of structures. When young, it can also be used in containers.
