I probably was the kid who's nose melted the frost patterns on the window, by pressing his near-sighted face up to the glass. Charles baby walnut is purty to me. This site has been productive to other writing of mine (as in on other forums). I had to leave most of my old nursery behind in Henniker (NH). But I'd like to get back to some of the layered plantings I had there. Both Charles and Garret are the perfect goad to prod my fat tochis up off its stool and to get back to growing. Right now Garret is up to his fenders in stealing leaves to make a raft big enough to hide an aircraft carrier under. What he has not mentioned, and probably has not had the time to even think about is what to plant as understory under his arbor. What grows in shade Garret sez? Lots of neeto (and premium) forrest product. I suspect garret has a couple more years of plant out before a spring comes along where he scratches his head and bum, wondering what-n-h**l he's gonna do next. I'm selling is; don't forget all that shade you worked so hard producing. That there shade is desirable real estate for understory plants.

Peach, plum, cherry, almond, nectarine, are all in the prunus family.
As Charles demonstrates they all bloom to good effect.

That 'red' made me wonder. I think I'd suggest reading up on it before human trials begin

2006 or so I brought some Q. robur down to the Sapling-In-Chief. for plant-out at her mum's hippy campground. I noticed (last year) that at least two were in decline. I laid down bark mulch for them today in their arbor.
I will not live long enough to see these climax trees in their mature size.
Garret I could get talked into buying some more of these (Q rubur) for that-there hippy campground. Is this something you would grow? Robur is in the white-oak family, and can live for all intents forever. PLMK.

Hazel nut is wind pollinated and needs more than two planted to get pollination done.
Last years (2011) crop are awake.
This years (2012) are still goofing off in their tray.

Kicking sand in the garden.
I promised (I forget who exactly) that I wasn't going to get another Japanese maple. I sold off all mine from School St (Laconia NH) when they shut down my program in Henniker (NH).
Several different flavors of big-box stores had them on sale an, an, an, well it just fell in the basket you see.
I busy chasing refills on some of my scripts and some pink salt. When thats done I think I'll slip it into a training pot. Its leggy enough that I can leave a couple branches on to become airlayer candidates.

Sometimes when it rains, it pours. Sassafras
Now I know this has modern herbalists tweaky, But 200 generations of "root beer" drinking children can't all be wrong.
I want examples in pots cause I think the leaf shape is sexy. A-n-d I don't know of anybody who's training them as bonsai.
This like sweetfern is due because it (sassafras) is reproducing mostly by rhizome. Which make collection difficult. Only very hardheaded idjits like me keep tinkering with collecting what dies when ever somebody blinks.
Any how the Sapling-In-Chief has a nice wrinkle in her campground that serves as a moist enough spot for this bottomland tree to survive. Where I can hobble out to collect some.
I hope to take some this fall (2013) which if they live should be ship-able fall of (2014). Wish me luck.
