\"Ride<\/a>This March I’m heading to the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia as the featured keynote speaker at the\u00a0Australian Nursery & Garden Industry National Conference<\/a>. The conference theme and title of my speech is ‘Ride the Wave of Change’. \u00a0Containing excerpts from my Nursery Insight column in\u00a0American Nurseryman<\/a>\u00a0(who knew Aussie’s were fans of my writing?!) it will be an exciting talk.<\/p>\n

After the conference I’ll fly to Melbourne to visit our Australian agent,\u00a0Fleming’s Nursery<\/a>. Finally I’ll attend my first ever\u00a0California Spring Trials<\/a>\u00a0for the Agricola Management Group and the\u00a0HGTV HOME Plant Collection<\/a>\u00a0at\u00a0Edna Valley Vineyards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Join me on my travels! \u00a0Follow my\u00a0personal<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0business Facebook<\/a>\u00a0pages. \u00a0Don’t miss out! I promise lots of plants, scenic views, people and probably even more plants!<\/p>\n

\u00a0Show Time<\/a>\u2122<\/a>\u00a0crabapple,<\/em>\u00a0with its fluorescent, fuchsia-red flowers, is a striking newcomer taking center stage in the ornamental tree market.<\/p>\n

All it took was one look at Show Time by west coast liner growers and this stunner was quickly incorporated into production plans.<\/p>\n

Jim Chatfield,\u00a0The Ohio State University Extension Team<\/a>\u00a0and past-president of the International Ornamental Crabapple Society says,\u00a0\u201cShow Time is the perfect replacement for Prairiefire.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Espaliers are a different way to showcase flowering trees. When planted against a building, they act as natural air conditioners.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

March offers more than the first day of spring:<\/p>\n

St. Patrick’s day is green in more ways than one; it is the unofficial deadline for\u00a0planting peas<\/a>\u00a0in your garden. It’s also reason to make my grilled ciabatta bread corned beef sandwiches with provolone cheese, horseradish sauce and apple sauerkraut!<\/p>\n

March Madness<\/a>\u00a0starts when the NCAA Championship Tournament kicks off! I do love me some college hoops!<\/p>\n

Last but not least, March 15\u00a0is the \u2018Ides of March\u2019 and marks the return of the\u00a0buzzards<\/a>\u00a0to Hinkley, OH where they summer roost. \u00a0Visitors have been greeting these ugly birds since 1957. \u00a0And you thought NE Ohio was just known for its’\u00a0burning river<\/a>\u00a0and thenursery industry<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
