Of all fruits, only three — the blueberry, the Concord grape and the cranberry — can trace their roots to North American soil. The cranberry has helped to sustain Americans for hundreds of years. Native Americans used cranberries in a variety of foods. The most popular was pemmican — a high-protein combination of crushed cranberries, dried deer meat and melted fat.

This was always something I looked forward to as a child, but I fear that few children get to make these same memories as our cities begin to fill up and creep out.

Many pines and arborvitaes are exhibiting shades of brown and yellow in their needles. With all of the other pine problems running rampant, this may be alarming, but there is no need to start tree shopping just yet.

Sharing divisions is a great way to increase the diversity of plants in the garden without increasing the pressure on your pocketbook. But I do have some words of caution before you start introducing new plants into the yard.

There is nothing as relaxing as coming home in the dead of winter to sit in front of the fire. I look forward to this all year. Some may think that a person who sits on the hearth until her back just can’t take the heat anymore is crazy, but I suppose most gardeners are.

When the spring bulbs pop their heads above ground and the birds begin to sing, the plants are again moved outdoors for their summer vacations. The lush foliage seems to never miss a beat.
