Scarecrow Contest We had a great turnout for
our 2nd annual scarecrow contest. All of the scarecrows
were imaginative and fun but only three could win. In first
place Scott Alberts and his scarecrow, “Gordie
On the Divide" collected the $250 gift card prize. Second
place and a $100 gift card was won by The Fisher Family
and their scarecrow “For the Birds”, and in
third for a $50 dollar gift card was Kim Taylor and “The
Scare Crone” and her scarecrow. Be sure to enjoy
the fun next year when we have our 3rd annual scarecrow
contest. Gift Shop Returns! After a one year hiatus the gift shop will reopen due to popular demand!

Q: We have expansive
clay soils in my area. I
have a liquid amber tree in the small front lawn. It
was planted 19 years ago. There are some surface
roots and have damaged the nearby concrete. Some
say that the tree MUST BE cut down and the to grind
the stump. I understand that the root will sprout
upward and try to grow leaves but will the roots
continue to grow in length, spreading outward? Is
there anyway to inject poison into the ground down
stump that will move thru the roots and kill it completely? Please
help. Q: The
leaves on my 4 very large liquid amber trees
do not turn the beautiful fall colors they are
suppose to. The leaves stay green and don't
even all fall off the tree. This has been
happening for the last few years. Prior
to that they behaved as I expected with the beautiful
fall colors. The trees are in great health,
get water when I water the front lawn in summer...water
from the rain in late fall/winter... Q: We
live in the outskirts of Tucson.I am having my
landscaping in the back yard of a tropical theme.Are
our summers to hot to grow banana trees in the
yard? There isn't any shade. Also I really don't
care to harvest bananas (I just love the tropical
look of the tree),do all banana trees have them?
Can I keep them from growing? We are Growing!
