I just noticed that a couple of my mature #rhododendron seem to be sick. The leaves usually curl in only during extremely cold weather, but these look like they never got the message that it's warmer and spring is nearly here. It was a fairly normal winter; cold with a few light snowfalls. The kicker is that some branches are affected while others look normal. Any ideas? I hate to pull these out. #Gardening #Landscaping #Backyard

Photo shows the leaves of a rhododendron shrub. Some leaves are curled as if it were very cold, while others appear normal for this time of year.

One of the projects we completed to prepare for a house sale was an overhaul of our front lawn, including eliminating a firepit and pea stone sitting area. Here's the before ( mid-May) and after (today after a fresh cut). Grew in nicely.
Trying something new this week - a Friday wine & cheese open house, from 5pm to 7pm. Our agent has had some success with the tactic this summer, and tipsy buyers might be a good thing.

A lawn with a large brown area, roughly 20 feet across, waiting for some topsoil and lawn seed.
A picture of the same lawn 5 months later and the brown area is now filled with thick green grass.

all i been doing for the past 2 days = buckthorn removal.

mud wrestling w/serpentine invasive plant roots.

my Dad never did any yard care/maintenance. Couldn't tell the difference btwn buckthorn, birch and bee balm.

my landscaping estimate for shoreline restoration & erosion prevention= $90k+ Seems rather high for the minimal amount we want done.

Awaiting estimate from tree removal/pruning company.

Assembling & erecting this arbor to support some arching but drooping branches of our Young’s Weeping Birch has been our Labor Day weekend project — tho it would have been more appropriate as an Arbor Day project! 😁 It still needs a finishing touch or two (like recessing the visible stabilizing board so we can cover it with rocks, & of course festooning the arbor with little white faerie lights is IMPERATIVE!
😏 ✨ 🧚 ) But we’re really happy with it!

My photo of our new white, arched garden arbor that spans our front walkway. It’s supporting one of the main and arching branches of the weeping birch that grows beside the walkway (but had been hanging in the way). Beyond the arbor and out of view the paved walkway turns toward our front porch, while straight ahead it becomes a mulched dirt path to our woods.
A closer view and looking up a bit through the leafy branches now placed over our new white, arched garden arbor that spans our front walkway. It’s supporting one of the main and arching branches of the weeping birch that grows beside the walkway (but had been hanging in the way). Beyond the arbor and out of view the paved walkway turns toward our front porch, while straight ahead it becomes a mulched dirt path to our woods. A big blue flowerpot and some cedar tree trunks are also visible beyond the arbor.
