Daniel Ost

I saw this in the NY Times mag this past weekend. It is about the Danish florist Daniel Ost. He is doing some wild stuff like this.



Here are some more pics from Google images and his website.

Reminder: Grub Control

Tis the season for Grubs.

I lost my entire yard to grubs after I moved into my house and had to start over. They can be pretty nasty on a lawn. Also they turn into Japanese Beetles which eat a lot of your other plants, so killing them now may help with that later.

So get those spreaders out!

Long live the Farmers Market

The plan continues, slowly but surely, to be implemented. Here's the latest update:



As you can see, I've added a Crimson Queen Japanese Maple. A 1 1/2 foot one at Lowe's cost $35. A larger one cost upwards of $200 at a couple nicer nurseries. Yesterday at the Raleigh Farmers Market, $55.
