I enjoy Jeff Gillman’s books. They offer science-backed advice in understandable terms. Glad to see he and his co-author do the same in this book. Adding it to my list.

Comment on The Surprising Relationship Between Lyme Disease and Japanese Barberry by pissedoffmike

Just wondering if there’s anything new on this. Heard a piece on Faith Middleton’s show today regarding the relationship. I’m a complete novice in Litchfield County, wondering how prevalent the Japanese Bayberry species around here and what else I may need to know.

Comment on You Can Grow That! ~ Doublefile Viburnum by crazyplantgirl

This is exactly why I had these on my front foundation–the builder planted them in a 3′ wide bed! I now have 10′-12′ curvy wide beds in the front and these shrubs still reach onto the sidewalk! They are amazingly beautiful but must be placed with a lot of space around! I see them planted now in parking lots and they get sheared so they get these tiny, sparse flowers. I will let you know if my seedlings are this viburnum when I know for sure.

Plant and forget is definitely my style of gardening. A plant has to survive on it’s own for it to make it in my garden, that’s why I have so many doublefiles!

Ricki, Believe it or not, I’ve lost all my hosta already! Typically the deer don’t start nipping at them for months but I notice today that they eaten them all down to stalks already. Ugh!

Donna, I think viburnums may be my favorite shrub. I added some blue muffin viburnums to my garden last year but the deer seem to love them a much as I do. I’d like to add some other native viburnums but I find they are not very deer resistant, which needs to be a priority in my garden.
