One last cold night! We hope

Any annuals that can be brought inside tonight, should be. The temp will drop below 40 degrees and that is about as cold as annuals will handle. So if the weather people are off by a few, there will be a lot of damage to uncovered flowers! So if you can bring them into your garage or cover what is already planted!

Japanese Maple's hit by freeze!!

Bad news....everyone in Rochester and to the north got hit by mother nature last Saturday.  Temps here at Sherwood Forest dropped to 24 degrees over night.  Homeowners with Japanese maples (like myself) are now dealing with the aftermath of this late spring freeze. Good news the Japanese maples are very resilient and should rebound within the next month. So don't give up hope yet!!!

Installing a rain barrel is a quick and easy project that can help you save water, and money. Use collected rain to water your plants, rinse off your deck and more.
