"The only test of the utility of Knowledge, is its promoting the happiness of mankind." — Dr. STARK on Diet, p. 90.
We'vr been banging away day and night to get our perennial crops planted before the spring rains stop. Yesterday, I dug homes for a Chojuro Asian pear tree and three Nanking cherry bushes.
The overall quality of plants from Stark, Shumway, Vernon Barnes, and Gardens Alive. Vendors I wouldn't buy from again are Walnut Ridge and Burgess (aka DirectGardening.com). The plants from Stark have been exceptionally healthy and vigorous. Also, the blueberries from Wayside are blooming on their first spring in the ground. The jury is still out on Summerstone.
