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.

Scotch and Austrian Pines
Friday, November 4th, 2011 by Don Siffring
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.

Prune and control seems to sum up the yard agenda for summer. Most everything for the flowerbeds and landscape has now been planted. Due to the unusually cool spring, transplants seem well established. Now it is time to move into the next phase of the yard and garden season, that of weeding, pruning and controlling insects and disease.

Working Toward my Dream Yarden
Wednesday, May 25th, 2011 by Amy Sandeen
Yes. Yarden. I’m not a huge fan of lawn maintenance and I never have been. We struggle to create pristine green blankets out of grass that’s better suited for Kentucky’s climate. And we fight with the plants that grow naturally here, cursing their resilience and calling them weeds.
