Don't bother planting them - really!<br />Have to agree on the "larger than a fox" thoughts... we found a deer leg up the hill from the house and concluded mountain lion, but what would it be in your area?<br />Beverly near Yosemite CAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-49895716177519439292013-05-25T14:20:41.941+01:002013-05-25T14:20:41.941+01:00Hi Jean, another Ontarian here.

We are having a very strange spring here; a week of dry heat followed by cool rain followed by humid heat followed by rain and wet snow flurries...all in May. The farmers are probably tearing their hair out.

Your post often brings a smile to my face but today it was a big smile when I read the words "metasequoia glyptostroboides ". Many many years ago I was a horticulture student at our community college and Ornamental Tree and Shrubs was a required course. Metasequoia glyptostroboides was one of my favourites not only as a tree but the name too as I loved the way it just rolls off the tongue. There is a beautiful specimen in the gardens where I work (Vineland, Ontario, Canada)that must be in the range of 50-70 years old. It's still my favourite.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10434647905801829087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-22782610357865714912013-05-25T10:57:09.409+01:002013-05-25T10:57:09.409+01:00Something larger, Jean?

If they take off you'll never be without. Together with parsley and potatoes you'll have the basis of a tasty soup!<br /><br />We don't have deer here but have a lot of badger damage at the moment. Big holes everywhere.<br /><br />Good to see you safely back.Hatnoreply@blogger.com
