QUICK LINKS

 Dear Barbara,

 

  Happy New Year Everyone!

 

So just how can a New Year's resolution kill you? Well for instance, if you decided not to eat anything for a month to knock off the extra poundage you put on over the holidays, that could kill you.  

 

Or if you resolved to leave your inner couch potato behind and be more adventurous in the new year by  climbing Mount Everest but did not hire a Sherpa, that could kill you.

 

Or if while desiring to get in closer touch with nature you decided to tackle all your garden and landscaping yourself, well........that won't kill you. But we sure do like doing it for you.   

   

I trust you are all well and used to writing and typing 2012 by now. Isn't it funny those first few days of the year always require a bit more concentration as we fill in dates and try to get into the new year groove? 2012 folks! It's 2012! 

 

Be sure to  watch for our new     

     Early Bird Contest.
Those of you in the area will be getting the annual newsletter in the mail with the details. One lucky winner will receive $150 off their spring clean up! So watch for this one!!

FROM THE GARDEN

It's been mighty mild both here in Michigan and elsewhere too I hear. I include this tip for those who may have missed it from the December newsletter.  These pics were taken in November when we had snow. Now it's January and there is none! But there is here. Check out this crazy guy
 
Garden Tip for Winter

While trees and shrubs are not planted during the winter in Michigan, it is important to consider the contribution they make to the winter landscape.


Here a young red oak sapling clings to its rust colored leaves providing both a beautiful color contrast with the green of the white pines as well as an interesting spot for the snow to land and work its charm.  
 

This is my ordinary road made magical. I never get tired of this.

 

Me  I'm sure you all appreciate your favorite trees and shrubs.  Here are some of mine. Perhaps you will consider planting some more when spring comes calling.   

  

REMINDER 
 
     Its time to browse the seed catalogs and plan your gardens if you are wanting to grow a garden of edible crops this year. Now is the time to start planning your garden and ordering your seeds.

H
ere's a tiny sampling of some of last year's bounty. Happy picking!!
