Plant Families: Anacardiaceae and Apiaceae
Next up on our quick fly by of plant families are the Cashew (or Sumac) family (Anacardiaceae) and the Carrot (or Parsley) family (Apiaceae or Umbelliferae). The Cashew family is one I try to steer clear of while the Parsley family is one of my favorites.

Autumn Crescendo
The music of autumn is played in a different key than that of spring. Although both begin softly and build to a crescendo, spring's song is sweet and high, while autumn's is a more complex ballad, changing key and rhythm as the music builds. Autumn includes the mellow minor keys, totally absent in spring, as well as a touch of melancholy among the brassy highs. It's a subtle season and spring is not. Spring's changes burst upon us; autumn's are wrought more slowly as our plants descend into winter's sleep. Lot's of images, so please be patient while the page loads for you.

Early Weeds
Part of gardening is dealing with "weeds". A weed, by definition is "a plant growing where it is not wanted". However, there are certain plants that few want to have around. In my USDA zone 7 Maryland garden, I consider some of these bad guys "early" or cool season weeds. Maybe you have some of these, too.

Essential Identity
I don't know about you, but I'm a mystery fiction fan. Nothing (except a new plant or seed catalog) is more soul comforting to curl up with, on a dreary winter day, than a good who dunnit. Whether you actually like mystery fiction or not, you embark on solving mysteries as soon as you fall in love with gardening. The biggest continuing mystery in gardening is identity. I've been musing on this recently.

Vines - Part 2
Vines come in all sorts of types, sizes and vigor. There are annual vines that you plant each year from seed and woody vines, some of whom make a statement all year around. Some vines have Attila The Hun tendencies and will take over the world (or at least your patch of it) if not watched and some require no end of coaxing to keep alive and flourishing. Some vines do very well in shade; some require sun to thrive and some will grow in shade, but not flower well. The variety is almost endless; here are a few more that you may know and grow or that may tempt you.
