Hello earthlings. Welcome to the world of plants, dirt and rocks. This blog will revolve around the small landscape company my wife, Donna, and I own and run, known as Harmony Landscapes, and the plants and landscape situations we have encountered along the way. Just a good time talking earthly subjects and such! Thanks for stopping by....themanfromearth (aka Rob Huckestein) (harmonylandscapes@yahoo.com)

Kitchen Window Fun!
One reason I enjoy this time of the year is because that call to do a little fruit tree pruning will typically come in. What's fun about pruning fruit trees? Well, you've got a point there, but the side benefit is that you've got clippings that can be brought indoors to eventually bloom into quite a nice bouquet. Fruit trees, from my experience, are best, but you might have success with other flowering plants such as flowering quince, forsythia, and jasmine. Take a few stems as the flower buds appear to be beginning to swell and put them in a vase of water. Sit the vase in a window and enjoy! Experiment with different plants (what about azaleas or roses) and let me know if you're having success!
Photo Right: This grouping of peach tree stems didn't show any color at all a week ago.
