Recently I went online to enter your contest and found a spot about Japanese Maples. You say you planted 117? I had no idea they could grow much north of the zone6 area.... I am in Indiana which is rated zone 5 but the weather is definitely zone 4 in the winter a lot of the time. How do I choose Japanese maples for my secret garden that I have been working on forever? I really want to get some in this year! Please email me an answer. Thanks so much Hi Martha: I am a big fan of your show.

We bought 20,000 seedlings from the state and planted(with the help of high school kids) in this corn field that had mature oaks surrounded it. The deer loved the fir trees as the winter was cold with no snow to cover the trees. What are you doing to keep the deer and rabbits from eating your trees. 22 years later we have great trees that did made it thru the Iowa winters. Plant away Martha!

Shaun's trip to Environmentals Nursery really looks like a lot of fun. These photos are really superb and your link to their website is beautiful. Can't wait to see all of those beautiful Japanese maples when they are planted on your farm. Does Shaun need any help?! I'm available any time! Does the hoop house ever become a covered hot or cold house for growing other plants?. Since you bought so many trees from that hoop house, I'm sure they have other uses for it. Loved your show again today. This is a great season!!! Jan Hi Martha, I love your blogs about gardening of any kind. Shaun's trip to Environmentals Nursery really looks like a lot of fun.

Gee whiz, Shaun left hardly ANY maples in the hoop house! It was good that he bro't the truck along (every farm needs a truck! [giggle]) - to lay those taller specimen trees on their sides, down in the truck bed (which would also protect them from the 'wind' while driving back home.) ~ (I know you will, but) you MUST keep us updated on these! 117 trees?! 40 varieties?! Oh, they're going to be magnificent additions there at your farm, especially if you create your muchly-coveted grove like you've said. It'll have a similar effect like a collection displayed on a shelf - they'll be stunning all grouped together! - the different cuts in the leaves and their different colors/shades.

They come in such gorgeous colors; I can't wait to see them as they mature. ~ Your friend Connie has a very nice house and I especially like the pool and cabana area. I wonder if she put a sign up in the empty hoop house after you left that read "Martha was here!" LOL. ~ If I planted 117 trees at my house, I wouldn't be able to get out the front door! Farms are so nice but you already know that. Trish Hi Martha,
