Photo: We still have flowers

Photo by Lee Lageschulte

I really love hydrangeas but the ones I've tried have all died. Only volunteers and things I don't really want thrive in my yard.

Jennifer Rotermund says my cherry tree has three kinds of diseases and is dying. I'm trying to keep my husband from taking a chain saw to it while I figure out what we can salvage from it, particularly considering the deck rail is built around one of the branches.

I have killed so many more things than I have grown... but I still get to enjoy Lee's photos.
