    All year round interesting small tree

    Does anyone have any suggestions? I have got a half barrel, which has no bottom- so it’s really just ornamental. I’m thinking I may put a small tree in it. It needs to be hardy and I’d like it to have interesting foliage most if not all of the year. Any suggestions?

    Delikatesse Cucumbers

    Delikatesse Cucumbers and Backyard Vegetable garden
    This is my first time trying Delikatesse Cucumbers. I honestly didn’t realize what they were at first because they don’t vine like others I’ve tried. I deliberately set them near my trellis and I’ve read that it’s beneficial to trellis them for yield, but now havin...

    Identifying apple variety

    I have eight apple trees on our property, and I’m curious if anyone has a link to a website or book that provides information on how to identify the variety. Two I know, but six I can’t identify.

    Feijoa / Pineapple Guava: Has dropped a lot of leaves lately

    Mexican petunias Flowering, Pineapple Guava Flowering, and Golden oregano Growing
    Our feijoa tree continues to produce new flowers, and today I saw a blue jay, a mockingbird, and an American robin all snacking on its flower petals at the same time. The robin even fed a petal to one of its (rather large) babies that was making a ruckus on the ground below. A red-headed house ...
