Try listening to Is as you read this

That You Mo-Dean? 5:32 The B-52's Good Stuff Rock 100 2 7/13/08

I plant much stuff about and sometimes it makes and some times it
dies. . Never found anyone who Iąd like to share lunch with that would
tell me how to garden. Just like what to try and I try things and some
work some donąt. I like to hear about successes and failures too.
Not just food but that issue is growing more in to our yard. Still how
to save caladiums troubles me.


Bill I believe I can help you with your trees. A good source for
information pertaining to trees specifically and other woody, shedding,
perennial plants. www.shigoandtrees.com Two books I would suggest, very
easy reading, big drawings or pictures with lucid words is
MODERN ARBORICULTURE http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT2003/MARBOR.html
and
WORLDWIDE PRUNING GUIDE http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT2003/TPRUNING.html

Your library should have or able to get these books.

Once you would get the books I could walk you through the books page by
page. Every time I read these books I learn something else I forgot I read.
What would be great is if we had many people reading at the same time.
Not like a dissection workshop, but you will get lucid instruction from one
of the foremost recognized tree authorities worldwide. I.e., when he died.
And still continues in the mind and hearts of many many many people
worldwide. I.e., Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, Japan, and many more
including many states in the United States, not all. His daughter keeps his
teachings going at their website at www.shigoandtrees.com I think you will
enjoy this stuff. Oh, yeah. Some articles posted on the web that Dr. Shigo
wrote and were published in TCI Journal.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.
Some people will buy products they do not understand and not buy books that
will give them understanding.


What interests me is what else you folks find of value. The premise
begins in our gardens dirt and offers potential for more if inclined to
share
