Eat all the candy you want. Someone told me calories are free on holidays.

When gathering fruit from under the Hardy Orange, always stand up very slowly.

I threatened to take this tree out earlier in the year, and it has performed beautifully ever since. It’s good to throw a scare into your plants once in a while.

That’s Berberis replicata up top. I’ve nicknamed my guy Sid Vicious, for obvious reasons. And for the record, I might have made up that bit about calorie-free holidays. But still, not an entirely bad policy.
Cheers
