my forsythia is turning maroon but the oak trees in front have no acorns.
the ones in back do.
when I examine the front ones, the flowers they put out in march are hanging there, dead, they never made a crop.
any ideas? the hickory and walnut trees are fine.

My husband put in some late season things, collards, spinach, turnips, lettuce, and this rain has them going nuts. Anybody needs green leafy stuff, let me know in another month or so. My faves.

Ooooh me! Me!
I just cut the last rose of summer and I think we have about 2-3 more maters to pick.

Replacing the weary summer annuals in some pots with pansies and violas this week. Looks better already!

How big are the dogwood berries? My granddad told me you can tell how bad the winter would be based on dogwood berry size. |

I did see the weather team from accu weather was predicting a colder, more ice, more snow winter for much of the east. http://www.accuweather.com/mt-...er_forecast.asp |

I'd bet someone on this thread knows. |

The tree rats got busy on my dogwood berries before I had a chance to enjoy them. Check Farmer's Almanac or the Wooly worm if you want a more accurate forecast for winter than the media! Nature is a better predictor than the media guru's.

Has anyone had a large number of grass onions pop up in the last two weeks? I have not had any, then all of sudden, they are everywhere in my yard.

Yes! What conditions cause that? |
