When I decided to pursue my project of growing 3 citrus trees in 1 pot, I did a lot of research on high-density planting, so I would be successful. Here are some of the important points I found: 1) Plant trees of the same species.

When I was chatting with a few fellow gardeners at the recent plant exchange, the conversation turned to plants we wished we hadn't planted because they turned out to be too invasive for our gardens.

Ever since I was a little girl seeing hydrangeas growing in front of my aunt's house in Michigan, I have loved them. Even before I knew what they were called, I have loved them.

Leaffooted bugs have a narrow brown body with a length of .75 to 1 inch long. They feed on fruits, fruiting vegetables, ornamentals and nuts. They have piercing-sucking mouth parts that help them feed on plant parts and particularly seeds.

I didn't blog all summer because life has been busy with doctor appointments for various members of my familynothing serious, just maintenance. As one gets older, a lot of maintenance is needed. I also had a milestone birthday in the summer. It takes a lot of energy and time to celebrate.

Indeterminates Live up to their moniker... They'll overwinter! While determinates Only lasts for one season They flower, fruit, die. My sweetest heirlooms Four mighty plants still standing Two years in a row! My wishful desire For next year's harvest season... Keep growing, growing.

If you are thinking of planting a tree, now is the time. Early autumn allows the plant to successfully settle into its new home and for its roots to sink into and spread out into the hopefully, cooler, damper earth.
