		<description><![CDATA[Fitting June into the month of May is a different way of thinking for those of us who love the yard and garden. It’s been tough waiting for May 10, the usual frost free date, before setting out annual plants and planting the garden. Maybe history will record a change to this average date as the climate warms.]]></description>

This month can bring great happenings to many or a late freeze can bring much destruction to the plant community]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The nursery and garden seed catalogs have been arriving for the past two months. This is the time when I like to spend time checking out new cultivars of vegetables and new varieties of perennials flowers. Honestly, I think the main reason I look through the catalogs is to drool over the picture perfect examples of what I image growing in the yard and garden.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scotch pine and often Austrian pine, are dying by the dozens in Hastings and the surrounding communities. Death of the tree, especially one over 10 years of age, has been confirmed as the victim of Pine Wilt disease. This is a significant loss to Adams County, both from the protective purpose for which these trees were planted and/or the beauty of the landscape which gives us the warm green feeling, even in the cold wintery months.]]></description>
