I live in zone 7a (Virginia) and gurneys just shipped out my two bare root apples but my question is, is it safe to plant the trees right when I get them or wait when spring comes? I know the concept of heeling which is done if you can’t plant immediately so should I heel the bare roots or plant them immediately? I’m scared they might die as we do get surprise frost spells

Few garden plants are as tough as the hollies. The plant that comes to most minds (locally, at least) when holly is mentioned is undoubtedly Ilex aquifolium, the English holly, a species with countless ornamental cultivars popular for residential planting. One of the great things about English holly, and cold-hardy Ilex species in general, is […]

I live in NE Florida and have access to lots of beaches and marsh land. While listening to a historic video on the Calusa nation of indigenous peoples here in Florida, and whilst playing a PC game that allows you to grind seashells into lime for soil amendments, it got me thinking…
I don’t see much on coastal resources mentioned. Yes I know seaweed is great for trace minerals and such, and fish carcasses make great liquid nitrogen fertilizer, but what about everything else? There’s fields and fields of marsh grass that just washes up as it breaks after storms and I know oyster she’ll pulverized is good calcium, so why not harvest materials from the public beaches and estuaries?
Before anyone says it, yes, the salt content is a concern but I’m assuming soaking the materials after drying would remove most of it and make it usable away from the coast.
Does anyone have any insight or experience that could assist me as I try and see if we could utilize resources as our indigenous forebears did?

Earth systems models are an important tool for studying complex processes occurring around the planet, such as those in and between the atmosphere and biosphere, and they help researchers and policymakers better understand phenomena like climate change. Incorporating more data into these simulations can improve modeling accuracy; however, sometimes, this requires the arduous task of gathering millions of data points. Researchers, including UConn Department of Natural Resources and the Environment Assistant Professor James Knighton, Pablo Sanchez-Martinez from the University of Edinburgh, and Leander Anderegg from the University of California Santa Barbara, have developed a method to bypass the need for gathering data for over 55,000 tree species to better account for how plants influence the flow of water around the planet. Their findings are published in Nature Scientific Data.

As my primary source for seeds has shown his unwillingness to be civilized, and as I live in the Northern Rocky Mountains, AND as I still have relations living in Ontario, I am looking at purchasing my seeds this year from Canadian sources. So many great plants are not confined to national borders but grow throughout regions. So I have Sambucus canadensus (of course), but also Elderberry varieties from Northern Europe, which together, with cross pollination, produce bigger crops and much stronger seedlings… but all from the northern latitudes. Bonjour! Ensemble nous sommes plus forts!!
