From the Master Gardener ISU Extension, Woodbury County Maple Leaf Blister By Mark Gleason and Fanny Iriarte Plant Pathology Extension Iowa State University Blisters are something you get from applying tender hands or feet to tough jobs in the garden. But can trees get blisters too?

Midwest Gardening By Jan Riggenbach Whenever I talk to a group of gardeners, the subject of what to do about rabbits often comes up. Unless your garden is confined to pots on a balcony, chances are you've lost at least a few prized plants to hungry bunnies, too.

From the Master Gardener ISU Extension, Woodbury County By Marty Calkins If I Only had a Greenhouse If I only had a greenhouse I could grow my own... Nearly every avid gardener (and a lot of not so avid gardeners) has wished at one time or another to have their own greenhouse. Maybe they want to start vegetable seedlings, or maybe to grow violets, or orchids or whatever kind of plant they like. I'm no different. Ever since recently (1970) earning my BS in horticulture at ISU I have wanted a greenhouse. Now I have one and it has been a real learning experience.

Midwest Gardening By Jan Riggenbach I think tree roses look cool in a garden. Essentially a compact rose bush sitting atop a tree-like trunk, a tree rose adds an attractive vertical element to a garden.

From the Master Gardener ISU Extension, Woodbury County By Pam Clark Maintenance Pruning Shrubs Because shrubs come in all shapes, sizes and types, it is almost overwhelming to know how to maintenance prune them.
