Hello Grapevine Readers!

Well, it’s finally time for springtime temperatures, sunny days, and  the beauty of springtime. I’m not really  sure when warmer temperatures and sunny days are going to happen, however,  but I’m sure that spring will not be as beautiful as usual as a result of the freeze damage that has occurred to flowers, shrubs and trees. 

Hopefully,  seasonal weather will soon occur and we’ll soon tend to forget about the early spring freeze. The effects of it will not  completely allow that, however, as  the damage to fruit crops  and horticultural damage  may be a summer long reminder of the cold early spring.

 Let us know of topics you would like us to address in the “Grapevine”.  We try to put in articles which address timely and important current concerns, which often are based upon the number of calls we are receiving  about  problems.  Send us an e-mail or give us a call with  topics you are most interested in!

                                                                                     Sincerely,

John Hixson
