We aren't that far away but everyone in my garden club has had not luck keeping them alive. Bummer.<br /><br />The leaves are very healthy for the plants both as mulch and if you don't rake them nutrients. They look messy in the beds though. I started a leaf mold pile last year (rake up leaves, shred with either a lawn mower or a weed whacker in a trash can, and put in a pile over winter). When they are shredded they decompose faster and what you get is very rich black compost! It's called black gold in the gardening community and people pay big bucks for it. If you have space for a small pile you should try it out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149136651520192500.post-88113311878583839542011-03-22T09:56:19.350-07:002011-03-22T09:56:19.350-07:00i hope your tree comes back! they're so beaut...i hope your tree comes back! they're so beautiful. but i have no patience for gardening, i tell you. i have to leave it to the hubby-- it frustrates me too much!emily @ the happy homehttp://www.happyhomeblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149136651520192500.post-79057978825484758052011-03-22T09:26:41.950-07:002011-03-22T09:26:41.950-07:00I hoep your tree comes back stronger than ever -- ...I hoep your tree comes back stronger than ever -- I feel you on the back yard clean up!!

It's a chore, but when done, and everything is blooming and we can sit out and enjoy a glass of wine while sitting by the pond, it is well worth it. Hope your maple survives.

I'm dealing with the same clean up this spring--truthfully, I don't know when to cut back plants so I just left them all. Now I have half dead, half new growth plants--not fun! <br /><br />On a funny gardening side note: I was babysitting my nieces the other day and I decided to go outside and pull up weeds. They wanted to help but I sent them off looking for four leaf clovers instead. I should have been watching because a few minutes later my 4 year old niece runs up saying "Aunt Karrie, look at this big weed I found!"--it was a mum I planted last year. haha!The Brick Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03584614738331902706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149136651520192500.post-18700540558491482822011-03-22T05:38:32.384-07:002011-03-22T05:38:32.384-07:00Ha!
