I have one row of blueberry bushes. They are mainly high bush blueberry with a couple low bush. They are definitely a bit harder to grow and I have lost a few along the way. They did not produce a lot of fruit this year but they seemed to have more growth. I have heard some people say that the blueberry bushes will have years Iike that where they do not produce as much. What has your experience been? How were your blueberries this year. I usually fertilize with a blueberry fertilizer from Whiffletree Farm & Nursery but this year I used sulfur pellets.

Connerty Meadows Farm has some great instructional you tube videos on taking care of your blueberry bushes.

Picked from the last tree bearing fruit in my orchard. When planting my orchard I tried to plan for a staggered harvest from August starting with the Yellow Transparency and finishing with the Nova Easygro and Winecrisp (this one has not started producing fruit yet.)

It has been over a month of being sick with a terrible cold. I have felt so tired, worn out, and run down. Working on finding my footing again.

I have two Autumn Blaze Maples and I look forward to their vibrant color change every year. This is a fast growing tree which I appreciate. They just get better and better every year. I can see the first one from my kitchen window while I am doing dishes.

For a few years I had a very hard time growing Goji berries. They just didnt thrive or the black ones just died. I moved this one at the end of the season last year and this year it has gone completely wild. It completely took over the area and sent off very very long tentacles/runners.

Does any one have experience with Goji berry plants? Is this normal? Do I prune it in the spring and keep it more managed next year? Also, it really didn't produce a lot of berries so I am not sure if it is happy or not happy.

I was looking for something to add some height, structure, and texture to my front flower bed and was recommended the Tiger Eyes Sumac. It should reach 6 feet high in spread and height. I will move things as necessary as it grows. I love it!!! Thank you Rideau Woodland Ramble for always providing fantastic plants and advice.

Apricot drift rose in all her loveliness. I have become much more observant of my gardens in the last year and it astounds me how many blooms these roses send off and for how long.
