Hi Folks! Happy Spring! That wonderful green and growing season may finally be here! Regardless of the continuing chill, grass is greening up. Guess the rains help that, no matter how dreary it gets. Leaves may appear someday, hopefully before the first of June. Its always amazing how quickly things advance when Spring really happens. MISSING MOM Sunday will be the first Mothers Day in my lifetime without a Mom to share it with. She went on her final journey a year ago this month, and we all miss her. But she lived a long, full life, and surely is up there somewhere in Heaven with Dad and everyone else she loves, growing flowers, assigning chores, collecting angel feathers and searching out the brightest particles from bits of falling stars. Happy Mothers Day, Mom! You taught us to live and love, to work and play, to do right, and to enjoy the little things in life. For all that, we thank you. ORIGIN OF MOTHERS DAY The modern Mothers Day is a relatively new holiday, but back in 6th-century England folks had a celebration called Mothering Sunday, a Sunday set aside for visiting your mother. The eldest son or daughter would bring a mothering cake, which would be cut and shared by the entire family. Family reunions were the order of the day, with sons and daughters assuming all household duties and preparing a special dinner in honor of their mother. Sure sounds like the Mothers Day of today ought to be. Especially when you remember that in those days, assuming all the household chores included hauling water in buckets, hauling wood, keeping the stove fired up if you wanted to eat, finding and picking the greens if you wanted some to to eat, and cooking everything from scratch, no mixes or pre-cleaned anything. If you wanted fried chicken, you had to catch and kill and clean that chicken first. In those days, there wasnt even any home canned food. They hadnt learned how yet. Oh, yes. The chores might also include collecting the eggs, milking the cow, feeding the chickens and watering the cow. MOTHERS DAY WISDOM Lots of people have had a thing or two to say about Moms and Mothers Day. Here are a few: Behind every successful man stands a surprised mother-in-law. – Hubert Humphrey, American politician The greatest love is a mothers; Then comes a dogs, then comes a sweethearts. – Polish proverb In the eyes of its mother, every turkey is a swan. - author unknown. The daughter of a good mother will be the mother of a good daughter. Author unknown. What good fathers and mother instinctively feel like doing for their babies is usually best after all. – Child psychologist Dr. Benjamin Spock, actually admitted this after writing all his books on raising children. NO MORE DOCTORS A very healthy friend says shes never going to the hospital again. Went four times, and every time she came home with a baby. THREE CHILLY SAINTS May 11 also begins a 3-day period called the Three Chilly Saints. Named for three early Christian martyrs, these 3 days traditionally mark the last cold spell before planting season begins. Some old timers from northern Europe referred to The Three Ice men, Saints Mamertus, Pancras, and Servatius, whose days are celebrated successively on May 11, 12 and 13. Belief was that those three days generally would not pass without a frost, and that belief, at least here in Wisconsin, was all too often true. In fact, we did not put tender plants in our garden until the final week of May, and that seems like a good idea this year. In Poland, tradition was that rain would fall on the feast of St. Sophia, May 15, and that date marked the start of the planting season. Few folks back then had calendars, so many of them tracked the dates by Saints Days, which probably were mentioned at Sunday church services. STAY HEALTHY, DONT SLOUCH Check out vintage photos of women in charm school. Notice their perfect posture and books on their heads? Being mindful of your posture doesnt just add to your feminine daintiness, or macho air, depending on your gender. Good posture reduces aches and pains, helps you breathe easier, increases your confidence and makes you look younger. The key to good posture while sitting at your desk: Sit up with your back straight and your shoulders back. Keep knees bent at right angles, make sure your rear touches the back of your chair, and place your feet flat on the floor. Also, take regular breaks from staring down at your cell phone and change up your position throughout the day. EAT WITH THE SEASON Ever notice how food cravings change with the season? Theres a reason for that. Our bodies are trying to tell us something. Back in the day, our grandparents ate what was in season because thats all that was available. That type of dining accidentally gave them the nutrients they needed in the proper seasons. (Except when there wasnt enough food of any sort, but thats an entirely separate problem.) Point is, in winter, fresh fruits and veggies were scarce, and diets were focused on meats, fish, and starchy veggies that store well. Thanks to modern food-processing techniques and transportation systems, we now can eat whatever we want all year round. But that doesnt mean we should, especially when produce produced locally and then picked and eaten at its peak generally has more antioxidants, vitamins and minerals than foods harvested before theyre ripe and then shipped long distances, according to some medical advisors. They suggest following the old-school solution: Eat seasonally to reap the health and environmental benefits. Youll not only eat foods with better nutritional content, but eating seasonally also often means consuming locally grown foods, which supports local farmers, cuts down on pollution from shipping and trucking food and reduces your carbon footprint. Whats more, in-season fruits and vegetables are more affordable than imported versions. Our bodies are naturally drawn to certain foods at certain times of the year for a reason, says holistic healing coach Ashley Williams of the Cleveland Medical Institute. Fruits and raw veggies are naturally cooling and energizing during the summer when were more physically active, while beans and root vegetables keep us warm in the winter. If you dont raise your own garden, shop the local farmers markets when the time comes. STAY CONNECTED, STAY HEALTHYResearch has proven that its also important for your health to communicate not only by voice or text messaging, but through personal contact that involves facial expressions, eye contact and body language. Studies prove there are actually physical benefits from quality, engaged contact with others, that it contributes to mental, emotional and physical health. Helps keep the heart rate steady, and improves your bodys ability to regulate your cardiovascular, immune system and glucose levels. In short, modern medical science has proven the old wisdom that, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy! So to stay healthy, chill out with friends, cuddle a kid, and in general enjoy the company of others. Not bitter medicine at all, but those who should know say it works. STAY ACTIVE Lots of us work at a desk all day, and modern housekeeping doesnt take the energy our grandmothers spent, which probably contributes to our nations chronic weight problem. Try amping up your daily movement quota. Simple things like pacing around as you talk on the phone, watering the plants, getting up to chat with a coworker in person rather than e-mailing, and taking a short walk at lunch all help. Maybe thats why antsy kids tend to stay skinny, while their quieter cousins do not. ON THE SOAP BOX WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? Recent investigations into the Benghazi attack, including the e-mails the White House was forced to release prove the claims it was an angry mob that attacked the American consulate and and killed the four Americans were deliberately false. The tragedy is that our government was asked to send aid to those United States citizens, and for whatever nefarious reasons, refused to do so. The blood of those murder victims is on their hands. Perhaps the help could have reached them in time to prevent the deaths. Perhaps it could not. But the fact is, those who run our government did not try, and that isnt poor judgment, its treason! Then, the shocking words of Hillary Clinton to Congressional investigators some months ago: What difference does it make now? News commentator Wayne Rogers on the Fox News Business report wondered how folks would react if Hillary Clinton were shot and killed on the campaign trail, and her opponent asked, What difference does it make now?? CELTIC MUSIC At 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 10, Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church, 716 Henriette Avenue, Crivitz, is hosting a Celtic Service with members of the the Lutheran Ceili Orchestra, featuring traditional hymns and tunes from the Celtic lands played on authentic Celtic instruments including uilleann bagpipes, tin whistle, fiddle, bodhran, and more. The group is lead by Celtic instrumentalist Joey Schumann, who has toured with American Composer Tim Janis and has twice been a featured performer on the uilleann bagpipes and tin whistle at Carnegie Hall in New York City. COOKIN TIME BLOODY MARY SALAD Crave the refreshing flavors of spring? Its a long, long time before the garden will produce, but this special (and easy) salad goes marvelously with steak produced on the grill, or anywhere else for that matter. to be authentic, drink a quarter cup of the vegetable juice and replace it in the recipe with a quarter cup of Vodka. If you let the juice boil, the alcohol in the Vodka dissipates, but the flavor is still there. 4 cups tomato-vegetable juice 2 packages of lemon gelatin, 3 ounce size 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper 3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese 1/3 cup minced onion 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice 1 cup thinly sliced celery (optional) Bring the juice to a boil. Dissolve the gelatin in the hot juice. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Chill until slightly thickened. Fold in the blue cheese, onion and lime juice. Pour into a 1-1/2-quart mold. Chill until firm. ASPARAGUS FRITATA Its too early for asparagus from the garden, but this wonderful vegetable is available now at the supermarket. Enjoy it while you can! 9 spears pencil-thin asparagus 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 large red onion, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices Pinch sugar 3/4 teaspoon salt, plus extra for water 3/4 cup Parmigiano–Reggiano cheese, coarsely grated (or regular Parmesan) 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 6 large eggs, lightly beaten Wash and trim asparagus. Cut into 3/4-inch lengths. Cook in boiling, salted water until tender, 3-4 minutes. Drain asparagus and submerge in ice water to stop cooking. Set aside. In a medium-size oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over moderate heat. Add onion, sugar, and salt; reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is golden brown and very tender, about 30 minutes. Remove onion from the pan with tongs, leaving as much oil in the pan as possible. Let onion sit 10 minutes, until no longer hot. While the onions cool set the broiler on high and let it heat. While that happens, in a large bowl, whisk eggs until smooth. Add cheese, pepper, asparagus, and onion. Set the skillet over medium heat. Add egg mixture, stirring briefly to distribute fillings. Reduce heat to low and let mixture cook slowly; you should see just a few lazy bubbles popping up around the edges. Cook undisturbed until edges are set but middle is still very liquid, about 8 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven, positioning it 3–4 inches from the broiler. Cook until top of the fritata is golden brown, edges are puffed, and center is just set (it will jiggle slightly but pop right back after you poke it), about 2 minutes. Dont overcook it! Loosen with a spatula, if needed. Remove to a warmed platter and serve immediately, preferably with hot biscuits that you pop into the oven which is already hot from using the broiler. WONDERFUL APRICOT TRIFFLE Perfect for springtime showers, graduation parties or other gatherings, this easy dessert serves about 15 to 18 people if they dont have seconds. No baking if you buy the cake. Make ahead of time, as the pastry cream needs to cool for a couple of hours before you assemble the triffle. Can be assembled the night before, or better still, make the pastry cream the night before and assemble the whole thing in the morning. If you object to the brandy you could use apricot nectar to moisten the cake, but that wouldnt be authentic. 1 classic French sponge cake (9 inches) or your favorite yellow layer cake Apricot brandy to moisten cake 2 jars (10 ounces each) apricot jam 2 cups pastry cream (recipe follows) 2 cups whipped cream (recipe follows) Slice cake into 3 layers. Place first layer in a large pretty glass bowl and drizzle with brandy until the layer is moist. Spread with apricot jam. (The all-fruit kind of jam or preserves is best.) Spread pastry cream over jam, then whipped cream. Repeat jam/pastry cream/whipped cream sequence twice more, ending with whipped cream. Pastry Cream: 2 cups milk 6 egg yolks 2/3 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 cup flour Bring milk to boil and set aside. Mix egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl with a wire whisk, until mixture forms a ribbon. Add flour and mix well (will become rather thick). Add half the boiled milk to the yolk mixture, mixing well. Pour yolk mixture into remaining milk, mixing as you go along. Bring to a boil on medium heat, stirring constantly with the whisk. Sauce will thicken as soon as it reaches the boiling point. Reduce heat and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Be very careful at this point; sauce will burn very quickly if heat is too high. Be sure the whisk scrapes the bottom of the pot as you stir. Pour into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and poke a few holes to allow cream to breathe. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until completely cooled. Whipped Cream: 2 cups whipping cream 1/2 cup confectioners sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla Add all ingredients to a bowl. Beat to desired thickness. Thought for the Week: Dear God, thank You for Mothers. Thank You for giving them a capacity to love that perhaps comes close to Your own love for us. Please bless all mothers, wherever they are. Just a reminder: That includes me, Lord. Amen. (This column is written by Shirley Prudhomme of Crivitz.

Mommy, Mama, and Me (2009)
by Lesléa Newman
No current Talk conversations about this book.
In my opinion, this is a phenomenal book. I really liked that the author used different names for each mother. I also liked that the illustration mirrored each sentence in the book. I enjoyed that the author turned the story into somewhat of a poem. The character descriptions were accurate with each sentence. Finally, this book pushed readers to think about fellow students or friends who could come from a different type of family than them.
A young boy spends the day with his two mommies.
Ages: 3-7
Source: Amazon
Mommy, Mama, and Me is a great and simple exposition of same-sex parents. It's not an incredibly complex plot; it's just a book about things that this child does with Mama and with Mommy. It's also a great book to have for representation. What's really wonderful is that there's also a version of this book called Daddy, Papa and Me that's also about things that a child does with their same-sex parents. One thing that I very much like about these two books is that they're meant for early readers. There aren't too many words on each page, and there isn't a lot of plot. This makes the books and the concept accessible to a wider range of readers.
I really enjoyed this book! Since the author describes a family that has two moms and one daughter, it introduces children to a sensitive subject.Therefore, this book would be a great resource for educating young readers about the LGBT community. Instead of putting a negative view on the subject, the author described the LGBT community in a positive manner. For example, the author wrote, "Mommy packs a yummy snack. Mama rides me on her back." The author is able to write all of these positive experiences that children can have with gay parents, which is very important for children to know. The central message is family.
Summary: This book quickly describes the life of a child who has two mothers. Even though her parents are the same gender, the child is still able to have a fun filled childhood.
Summary: "Mommy, Mama, and Me" is a book that is written from the child's perspective in order to describe the numerous things the child's mothers do for him/her during the day.
Review: The central message of "Mommy, Mama, and Me" is that both of the child's mothers do numerous great things for the child. Over the course of the book, the child describes activities they do together such as "Mama and I slide to the ground" and "Mommy and I go round and round." In my opinion, the use of repetition and rhyme schemes were a great addition to help the author convey her message. The repetition and rhyme schemes helped capture the attention of the reader, since all the book does is list activities the child does with his/her mothers.

Unfiltered takes on politics, ideas and culture from Nation editors and contributors.
In early April I visited the political battleground of suburban Philadelphia to interview a bunch of former Republicans who'd registered as Democrats to vote for Barack Obama in the April 22 primary. These interviews formed the basis of my latest Nation article, "Pennsylvania's 'Obamicans.'"
The story is largely set in Doylestown, one of Philly's oldest and most picturesque exurbs. It's a swing town in a swing area in a crucial swing state. As such, the political trends in Doylestown and the rest of Bucks County are pretty indicative of what's going on throughout Pennsylvania and the rest of the country.
The article is subscription-only on our website (so become a subscriber!), but I'm posting an edited excerpt below for the loyal readers of this blog.
Doylestown, like much of Bucks County, used to be deeply, proudly, Republican. "In my youth, in central Bucks County, I grew up without knowing any Democrats," James Michener wrote in Report of the County Chairman, his account of volunteering for John F. Kennedy in 1960. "My mother thought there might be some on the edge of town, but she preferred not to speak of them." Things began to change in 1992, when the recession that year pushed Bucks County toward Bill Clinton. In the following years, as the GOP increasingly became identified with the religious right, the county voted for Democrats for President. Yet until recently, Republicans controlled all the levers of local government.
A surge of Democratic activism in the past few years has turned Doylestown, and much of the county, from red to purple--and quite possibly to blue. In 2003 Republicans dominated the borough council 9-0; now it's 6-3 Democratic. After sending Republicans to Congress in every election since 1993, in 2006 Bucks County's 8th Congressional District elected Democrat Patrick Murphy, a 34-year-old Iraq War vet. In January there were 21,000 more registered Republicans than Democrats in Bucks. By early April, thanks to a massive voter-registration drive, Democrats outnumbered Republicans for the first time since 1978, when Democrats briefly held sway after Watergate.
What's happening in Bucks mirrors trends throughout Pennsylvania, where the state Democratic Party has added a remarkable 300,000 voters since January. Nearly half of these Democrats, according to the state board of elections, are new or previously unregistered voters lured by the excitement of the Clinton-Obama race. The other half are former Republicans and independents who switched to vote in the Democratic primary, mostly for Obama. Before the March 24 registration deadline (only registered Democrats may vote in the April 22 primary), the Obama campaign made an all-out effort to convert disaffected Republicans, otherwise known as "Obamicans."
In Bucks County there are "regular Obamicans"--former Republicans who volunteer only occasionally for Obama, if at all--and "super-volunteer Obamicans," Yeager tells me, half-jokingly. Christine Harrison, a peppy former travel agent who dates her ancestry back to President Benjamin Harrison, is a super-volunteer Obamican. Raised in a family of lifelong Republicans, Harrison has never in her life voted for a Democrat. But after watching the Democratic debates and Obama's victory speech in Iowa, she caught the Obama bug. Harrison attended the opening of his office in Doylestown, the Friday before Super Tuesday, and met Peachy Myers, an energetic veteran of Obama's South Carolina field team, who asked her to volunteer. "I told her I'm a Republican and she said, That's OK," Harrison recalls. "So I said, Well, let me be your very first Obamican! And I changed my registration right there." Harrison's now a volunteer coordinator for Obama, spending all her waking hours helping to get a Democrat elected President. Ten members of Harrison's all-Republican family have since changed their affiliation--all for Obama.
Victor Unger, an 80-year-old retired research director for a chemical company, is more of a regular Obamican. Unger has been a Republican since he moved to Bucks County in 1968. Almost two years ago Unger and his wife, a Democrat, heard Obama speak about his book The Audacity of Hope. Unger read both of Obama's books and "was really impressed by his intellect." "He's running at the right time in our history," he says. Unger changed his registration in March and began occasionally stopping by the Obama office to help out where needed.
It seems like every prominent Democrat in Bucks used to be a Republican--or is married to one. Congressman Patrick Murphy's wife, Jennifer, a 33-year-old lawyer, is another lifelong Republican. "Every time I went to the polls I saw a Clinton or a Bush on the ballot, and I voted for a Bush or against Clinton every time," Murphy says. Her husband was the first Democrat Murphy ever voted for, and Obama will be the second.
Like many Republicans in Bucks County, Murphy describes herself as fiscally conservative and socially moderate. "I still, for the most part, consider myself a Republican," she says, and inverts Ronald Reagan's famous maxim: "I didn't leave the Republican Party, the Republican Party and this President left me." Disaffected Republicans in Bucks, furious at how George W. Bush and the religious right hijacked their grand old party, are voting Democratic in the primary out of frustration, not because Rush Limbaugh told them to. The quagmire in Iraq and the downturn in the economy matter to these voters, but so do issues of personal freedom, like reproductive rights, technological advances like stem-cell research and protecting the environment--all neglected or opposed by the current GOP.
Many of these Obamicans are voting as much against the Clintons as for Obama. "I hate the Clintons," Harrison told me point-blank. "I find Bill fairly reprehensible," Unger said, "and have overwhelmingly negative feelings toward Hillary." Many Obamicans, these included, said they'd vote for John McCain in the general election if Clinton was the Democratic nominee, or wouldn't vote at all. Harrison said all ten members of her family would switch back to the GOP.
Obama's Republican supporters see in him what Bush promised to be in 2000: a great uniter. "He doesn't see me as a sworn mortal enemy because I'm a Republican," Jennifer Murphy says. Clinton and Obama may be virtually indistinguishable liberals on most policy positions, but Obamicans see their man as a kindred spirit, someone who will--as his campaign often reminds us--bring people together and bridge the partisan divide.
What's striking--and a little disturbing--about the Obamican phenomenon in '08 is how much it rests not so much on specific issues but on the candidate's personal characteristics and calls to transcend race and achieve political unity. Will these same voters still support him when Obama tries to withdraw from Iraq, or pass universal healthcare, or raise taxes on the rich, or push for any number of policy programs that are likely to anger many core Republicans? The Obamicans could turn out to be just another passing political fad. After all, conservative columnists like David Brooks and George Will heaped praise on Obama early in the campaign season, only to turn against him later. In a general election, McCain--with his maverick reputation, however dated or inaccurate--could stop the bleeding in places like Bucks County, keeping the remaining moderate Republicans in the GOP fold.
Obama is expected to do well in Philadelphia and its suburbs, but he faces an uphill climb in the rest of the state. Yet if he can go on to win the nomination and keep his Republican converts in the Democratic column come November, and beyond, he may achieve what no President since Reagan has--an enduring realignment of crossover voters.

There are a variety of methods to study the effects on exercise on brain function. Brain imaging techniques such as fMRI provides a new tool to search for regional effects of acute and chronic exercise.Another tool that has received less attention is the electroencephalogram or EEG. One EEG measure of brain function is the individual alpha peak frequency or iAPF.The iAPF is positively correlated with arousal, attention and speed of information processing. Higher iAPF is linked to faster spe........ Read more »

Has anyone grown these bush cherries?
I'm very intrigued the idea of bush cherries, thinking that I could protect the fruit from birds more easily than I could cherries on a tree. Taste and disease resistance have to be considered though. Also, chill. I think the first two require less chill than the later two. Has anyone tried these? If so, what did you think of them?
SK Carmine Jewel  Prunus cerasus X Prunus fruiticosa
Ripens mid July to mid August.
SK Crimson Passion  Prunus cerasus X Prunus fruiticosa
Excellent fresh eating cherry. Ripens in late August.
"Joy" Bush Cherry  Prunus japonica X Prunus jacquemontii
tart cherry on a 4-ft bush, fruit ripens in August
"Joel" Bush Cherry  Prunus japonica X Prunus jacquemontii
"Brother" seedling to Joy. Self-fertile.
BTW - I pulled this text from a website and edited it. If anyone wants the source, please let me know. I think that Joy, Joel and a companion Jan are sold by more than one place.
I have 'Jan' and 'Joy' here in Michigan. They are small bushes, only about 3 feet tall x 3 feet wide. The fruits are also small, about the size of a sour cherry, with fairly large pits. NEITHER of them tastes like a cherry per se, to me, they taste almost exactly like cranberries, although a bit sweeter, and they make a very, very good cranberry type sauce/jam. Neither one is them is particularly productive, giving between a pint and a quart per bush each year. The fruits of both are prone to brown rot as they approach ripeness.
One of them ripens for me about mid-August, the other about 2-3 weeks later in late August, early September, although I didn't label them, and I no longer remember which is which.
Overall, they're OK, but no substitute for real cherry trees.
Hmmm, well, I won't try Jan or Joy then. I suppose that their real advantage must be cold tolerance, and in California that is not an issue for me. Thanks for letting me know, Denninmi.
I'm still curious about Carmine Jewel and Crimson Passion, though.
I ordered one each Carmine Jewel and Crimson Passion this spring and planted them in identical conditions. The Carmine Jewel is taking off. The Crimson Passion fizzled and died. Most of the literature on these suggest that the Carmine Jewel is the mor vigorous and robust of the two, growing to about 6 1/2 feet in height and is more productive than the Crimson Passion. The Crimson Passion is supposed to be sweeter, but slightly smaller and less productive. I can vouch for it being less robust.
There are several more varieties in the "Romance" series of bush cherries developed by the University of Saskatchewan, but only these two have been released for export to the US.
I ordered mine from www.honeyberryusa.com which seems to be a small family run nursery business. No complaints about the service, but the guarantee only gets them to your door healthy. If they die after you plant them, you're out of luck.
They are propagated from cuttings, so you'll get a twig that has been rooted, and runs about 8 to 10 inches tall. If you live in an area where deer might come, you'll need to protect them. A bar of Irish Spring soap seems to do the trick.
I just found this old thread, and I wanted to respond to it, because it simply is not true. I have ordered several times from honeyberry.com, and have had the pleasure of speaking directly to Bernis. I managed to kill one of my "Crimson Passion" cherries, and she shipped me off a replacement no questions asked. They are a family-run business, and strive to provide really excellent customer service. I am trialing the Romance cherries here in my warmer climate, to see if I can get them to produce. Bernis has been very helpful. They may ship a little later, but it's due to their rather chilly climate and later winters, so patience is in line if you're waiting for a shipment. They must allow for their ground to thaw before they can dig up plants for shipment.
Patty S.
Unfortunately I live in an area that has recently been invaded by the spotted wing drosophyla, so I will not be planting any cherries. I already have a number of highly vulnerable fruits (blueberries, mulberries, plums, grapes) so I am not going to plant yet another to entice them to my garden.
SWD is a nightmare, anywhere you go. They are attracted to overripe/spoiled fruit. You can keep an eye out for them with vinegar traps, etc, but I've basically given up on all brambles. I will be using surround on smooth fruit.
I've moved to a new place with few fruit and transplanted bare root, so hopefully my pressure will be less. My 2 yr. CJ's are 4' and have blossoms on the ends of the branches. They also came from HBUSA and of the CJ's and CP's from them have all made it. I hit them with kelp/mulched wood chips/mycorhizals/urea early and they loved it. I also watered them 2x a week. Romeo is next.
Hello -- My three CJs , two CPs, two BEs and two Ms came from St Lawrence about five weeks ago. They seem to be doing well, leafing out and growing new branches. Amazingly, no pest problems, and no bug corpses in the Tanglefoot. I'm sure I'll see some later. Right now, the CPs and CJs have five to fifteen of these tiny yellow leaves per plant.
Does anyone know what they mean? ( I think they give an impression of being bigger than they are because of the magnification of the picture.)
I also planted Bali Evans and Meteor nearby. In order of vigor, they are CP, CJ, BE, with Meteor lagging behind everyone else. The leaves are smaller, and there are no new branches showing yet. It doesn't look sickly, it's just going slow.
Does anyone know if Meteor typically gets established more slowly than the others?
So that's two questions: What's with the yellow leaves and has anyone else noticed that Meteor takes longer to get established?
Thanks !

Small Tree / Large Shrub Speciman for Front Yard
Previous owners planted a Purpleleaf Sandcherry as the premier front yard plant right off the front door. Looking to replace it next spring.
Any suggestions for a small tree or large shrub that can be limbed up? Season long beauty would be number one goal, but could be as simple as good bright clean foilage year long, like a Magnolia.
Some of my choices may be too large, but if I can contain them since they are so slow growing it may be worthwhile. Could make a 10' X 10" plant work.
Coincidently this is my best spot in my yard. Gets sun from 6am till about 1pm during the growing season (zone 5a, Milwaukee area).
Protected from west and north winds.
Choices so far...
Leonard Messel Magnolia
Blackhaw Viburnum (McRouge or Summer Magic)
Eastern Redbud (Columbus Strain)
Pagoda Dogwood
White Fringe Tree
Any other suggestions, or would you focus on one in particular from agove?
River birch, non-fruiting crabapple. Both are rather fast growing, and look best when limbed up. Another smaller tree that dosn't need limbing up is a multitrunked Service-
berry. It is somewhat of an umbrella shape, like an Elm.
I sure am no expert on what is hardy to zone 5. But none of those trees you mentioned grow freely around my SE WI area. (Oh, except virburnum) Pondy
Whoa, River Birch will get 20' wide in 10 years, easy.
Your missing out, all those trees are readily available in SE WI and will thrive given the right spot.
In fact Pagoda Dogwood is a native here and the Redbud Columbus strain is from Columbus, WI.
I did add the following plants:
Ball of Fire Musclewood (new Johnsons Nursery intro)
Common Witch hazel
Firebird Crab shrub tree form
Hmmm...so many choices!
U guys are in the banana belt region of WI compared to me (Eau Claire). I've been growing a couple of Minnesota strain Redbuds for several years now with no dieback. They're growing all over the MN landscape arb. I've also got a Fringetree that seems to be fully hardy. I did have one die back to the ground after a hard winter, but it was from a different seed source. Cornus alternifoia is hardy into z3. Have either of you tried Paperbark Maple?
Is the 'limbed up' thing just about preventing it from taking a lot of ground space? If so, what about a columnar evergreen conifer like an emerald green arborvitae? Or something similar that'd remain green & attractive during winter, without bushing out too badly. Of course, if you want a tall naked trunk under the crown of the tree, that's not going to work out.
What is it about the Purpleleaf Sandcherry that you don't like? I'm not pushing the plant, just thinking that knowing what you don't like about it might help rule out some of the other options.
Sorry, since its a bordline a tree/shrub question I thought I post in both. Wasn't sure if either one had regulars in one vs. the other.
I don't know, evergreens have there place, but they bore the heck out me...escpecially Arbs, I think they are starting to outnumber the blades of grass in my neighborhood.
As for the Purpleleaf Sandcherry, its 15 years old. I'm shocked that it lived that long. Everyone and there mother has one of these planted in my area, kind of like those stupid burning bushes.

Oliver Michael Robert Eden, 8th Baron Henley PC (born 22 November 1953) is a British politician and Conservative member of the House of Lords and served as a Minister of State at the Home Office with responsibility for Crime Prevention and Anti-Social Behaviour Reduction, a role in which he succeeded Lady Browning in September 2011 to September 2012.[1]
Early life[edit]
Lord Henley is the eldest son and fourth child of Michael, the seventh Baron, and Nancy Mary Walton. He was educated at Clifton College. He graduated from Collingwood College, Durham University Bachelor of Arts (BA) in 1975.
Political career[edit]
Lord Henley succeeded to the peerage in 1977 upon the death of his father. An Irish peer, he is able to sit in the House of Lords by virtue of a United Kingdom peerage granted to the 3rd Baron Henley, namely Baron Northington.
He served as a House of Lords whip under Margaret Thatcher from 1989 to July 1990. He then moved to become a Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department of Social Security, retaining the position when John Major rose to power and serving until 1993. He was then briefly moved to the Department of Employment, when in 1994 he was again fleetingly moved to the Ministry of Defence. In 1995 he was promoted to Minister of State at the Department for Education and Employment, serving until the Conservative government lost the 1997 general election.
With the passage of the House of Lords Act 1999, Lord Henley along with almost all other hereditary peers lost his automatic right to sit in the House of Lords. He was however elected as one of the 92 hereditary peers to remain in the House of Lords pending completion of House of Lords reform.
After the 6 May 2010 general election, Lord Henley was appointed Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) in the Cameron Ministry. He was promoted to Minister of State at the Home Office on 16 September 2011, with special responsibility for crime prevention and anti-social behaviour reduction, replacing Baroness Browning who stepped down for health reasons.[2]
