Real Spring

Real spring has finally arrived.

I picked a dozen earthworms off the driveway this morning, and moved them to worm-friendly composty garden soil.

Sounds like a fun vine to grow on the new fence.

Red Mulberry

Morus rubra

Native, Zone 5, produces abundant fruit, would love to have one.

Maybe order 5 seedlings and one will survive?

Prefers a boggy site in full sun, which we do not have, so it would be an interesting experiment.

A deciduous conifer with contorted branches.  Zone 4. Very unusual.  Would love to have one.
