Pick the right tree for your landscape
If you plan on visiting a garden center over the weeks ahead to pick out a new tree for your landscape, one of the trees you may be considering is a Weeping Higgen Cherry Tree. The problem is, when you see them at the garden center they may be only about six or eight feet tall, and it looks like it will fit perfectly right off the corner of your house or a porch. But beware, this cherry tree can grow to be a whole lot bigger than you expect, and it may not be right for certain locations. .
Frigid spell takes toll on garden, but some features can be salvaged
Oh my, what a week. What a terrible, awful, cruel week. I tried to cover my plants, but it was absolutely impossible to protect them all. I went outside with shears and cut as many bouquets of lilacs, tulips, quince and grape hyacinth as my arms would hold so we could at least enjoy them for a short spell. After the frost had cleared, I stepped outside draped in a parka and took notes on some of my more common garden plants to find out what we should do, if there is hope, or if a little goodbye and a prayer is necessary. Reed Dillon, owner of Reed Dillon and Associates Landscaping, answered some of my burning questions on this unsavory topic. “I think that the only approach to any perennial is to wait three or four days to see the full extent of the damage," he says.

From the very first moment it was clear that the British navy crew patrolling the shallow waters of the northern Gulf were in a lot of trouble. The boats that sped up to them, boxing them in, were not Iranian navy or coastguard. The black and green banners signalled something altogether different: the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The IRGC is perhaps the wildest card in Iran's turbulent politics. It is a state within a state, with its own ideology, a 125,000-strong military force and a powerful parliamentary bloc - and one of the biggest players in the economy. .
