Japanese Maples Fall Color

'Skeeter's Broom' is the most colorful maple in our garden. I have just returned from a 2-week trip to Japan. This was my first ever trip outside the United States. It was an amazing experience and one I will never forget. Japan was wonderful - they really have their act together and I think the U.S. could learn a few things from them. There was one disappointment on the trip - the fall color had barely begun there and was really just beginning as we left. That is okay because the gardens were still spectacular, and I got a nice shot of fall color when I got back. 'Ryusen' I missed a few things - our ginkgo had just turned a glorious color the day before I left, and the leaves were gone by the time I got back.  'Sango-Kaku' I came home to many leaves on the ground but still a lot on the trees. 'Osakazuki', a beautiful red maple always changed color very late and therefore doesn't usually last long. When I left there was no color but a few remaini

The Latest Chip Drop


My work is cut out for me as I just requested a Chip Drop and it arrived the very next morning. They are always huge loads but this one seems bigger. Much larger than it appears in the photo. This will be spread over most of the beds in back and front.

  1. Is it steam coming off the pile?
    Oh, I hope there will be after photos :-D

  2. As Chavli said, it looks like it's steaming! Best wishes with getting it spread. With no rain in sight now, it's time for me to order a truckload of compost and get to work too.
