I'm sure students would be happy to help you weed out the garlic mustard. Maybe you could host a school field trip to your property?Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-4414792132839557682011-03-17T17:47:01.235-05:002011-03-17T17:47:01.235-05:00I love that big gnarly tree.

They will go out on nice days, come back in at night, and be planted out after danger of frost is past. It's an effort but does give us a much longer bloom time to do this.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954826148369517031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-91836025850855328772011-03-16T20:56:59.496-05:002011-03-16T20:56:59.496-05:00@Rose: It's so interesting how people have dif...@Rose: It's so interesting how people have different perceptions based on where they're coming from. Yes, the school forest is pretty nifty.<br /><br />@Janet: Thanks! We've walked to that park by the lake many times, but never taken the trail into the woods. I think we'll be going back to explore it more soon.<br /><br />@Carolyn: So true! And the Maples seem to have a rose-shaded haze. It's like a hint at the color of their leaves in the summer and the fall combined. I think we're so closed up during the winter, and then when spring starts to appear our senses are so attuned to the change. It's so pleasant!Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-9573763785865516092011-03-16T08:35:59.647-05:002011-03-16T08:35:59.647-05:00I agree about the trees.

I know what you mean about fuzzy trees. Every year I look forward to the local Red Maples (Acer rubrum) getting their fuzz on, it's my first sign of spring. You should show your parents the picture of the weeping willow, it certainly looks fuzzy to me.

I was out on my daily 4 mile walk, just returned and found a number of the Spring birds are returning, always a sign of hope that the weather will warm - soon I hope. The "fuzzy" buds haven't appeared yet, but I am looking for them. And I agree we are not crazy for looking!
