The right tree in the right place
The text discusses selecting trees suitable for placement near homes to avoid future pruning and shading issues. It advises against planting large trees under power lines and near houses, notes that large evergreens on the south side block winter sun, and recommends large deciduous trees on the southeast, southwest, or west for summer shade without blocking low winter rays. It also suggests decorative shrubs under lines and using tall evergreens on the north side to curb winter winds.
Rock garden turns home landscape into a floral showplace
A guide to building a rock garden in a sunny corner or slope. Prepare a grated bed with a 6 inch stone base, add peat and sand for drainage, and lay stones to resemble a natural bed. Plant low creeping varieties such as alyssum, crocus, snowdrops, phlox, and miniature iris. Water and weed as needed.
