Say "hi" to Rick for me. Small World. Further proving the six degrees of separation theory (or maybe it's just two degrees in the horticultural industry), once upon a time (2004?) I worked for the Wisconsin Dept. of Ag as a Plant Pest & Disease Specialist and I remember inspecting your nursery one terribly hot and humid summer day.

You have GREAT photos and a great writing ability. I love the humor. GLAD to hear you enjoyed your trip to Chicago Botanic Gardens and mentioned Richard Belden. Richard used to buy landscape plants from me when he had his business in Madison WI (prior to gowing to Chicago Botanic Gardens). Since I have not toured their fruit display since Richard took it over, your article reminded me to visit again. Glad to hear you toured Olbrich Gardens! My favorite local Botanic Gardens and it is FREE to tour! I sell plants to them on occasion. They do a great job there. Being an avid fruit grower (hobby) I would love to hear what you are growing. Keep writing! Paul Schwabe Johnson's Nursery Menomonee Falls WI UW-Madison Hort Grad class 1984 Annie:

Conny - Right now it seems like the only thing that can momentarily suppress the swarms of mosquitos are tornados. They're awful... but they can't catch me on my bike! Leslie - Thanks! I will post a blog about its full construction soon. Cheryl – When the days start getting shorter, I might just have to put garden lighting on my husband’s to-do list!
