- Spring Awakenings (4/12/2011)
- In these parts, winter may be said to be the great reducer of all things. We may call autumn fall, but winter is really the season that ought to bear the caveat: watch your head! Snow, ice, and often prodigiously powerful winds (which seem to blow ceaselessly from November through February across our mountain) all work together as a kind of elemental demolition crew...
- Tree Party Express III - Final of a Three-Part Series (3/22/2011)
- Becoming intimately familiar with our trees is the first step to understanding our varied forest communities and the panoply of organisms that depend upon them - not to mention our own species' varied ethnobotanical traditions centered on woodland plants small and great...
- Tree Party Express II - Second of a Three-Part Series (3/6/2011)
- A walk in the woods provides an opportunity to gain insight into how our native forest trees - some familiar, and some less so - change in appearance over the spans of their lives, adapt to varied conditions, and anchor our ecosystems...
- Tree Party Express I - First of a Three-Part Series (2/25/2011)
- Winter offers an opening, both literal and figurative, into the world of the forest and its constituents. In the absence of the relatively more facile identifiers of foliage and flower, however, we must often rely on the qualities of bark, twig and bud...
- Tree Party (12/4/2010)
- It's all too easy to forget about our trees, particularly the deciduous species, once fall has earned its name and begins to turn toward winter. However, now is an excellent time to take stock of their growing conditions, pruning needs, and other cultural issues, many of which often overlap with our own aesthetic desires and basic requirements for safety and peace-of-mind...
- Tabula Rasa (11/18/2010)
- Autumn is winding down, and the time has come to put gardens to bed for their winter sleep. Since the wild landscape seems to have no problem finding its way to bed, why do we trouble ourselves with helping our cultivated spaces to settle in for the long night ahead?
- Autumn's Call (11/5/2010)
- Savvy gardeners know that autumn provides optimal conditions for accomplishing a wide array of landscape tasks. These include bulb planting; transplanting of perennials and shrubs; installation of fruit, ornamental, and shade trees; fertilization and dormant seeding of lawns; tree fertilization and mulching; invasive species management; hardscape installation...
- Autumn Bulb Planting (10/12/2010)
- While autumn provides excellent conditions for planting perennials, shrubs, and trees, it is all too easy to forget that this season also provides the only window in which dormant flowering bulbs can be planted. Somehow, all the appreciation we have for them in the spring seems to dissipate along with the heat of summer...
