]]> apple tree pruning If you garden, what should you be doing now? If you live in a house, maybe you’re pruning your fruit trees and looking through Territorial Seed Company’s catalog for the vegetables and flowers you contemplate growing this spring and summer. We did a radical pruning on one of our oldest apple trees recently, and belatedly, I found this guide – click on “How to prune an old neglected apple tree” (which I will call Ode to Patience).

If you like to structure your time, here’s a great Northwest guide to when you should plant what.

But an encouraging word to all my friends and clients who are condo dwellers: you too can participate in gardening – grow your own herbs on chosen windowsills (carefully!) or if you have a balcony, grow just about anything.

This year we’re selling our “back 40” so losing several fruit trees and lots of garden space. We’re already planning what will go where with a whole new garden configuration, and we’d LOVE to see your photos of what you’ve got going on (or had last summer). I know you’ve got some great photos…

Here’s to sunshine!
