I almost forgot to send out this newsletter that I promised
a few months ago. Sorry!
One of my projects has been a Bluestem Nursery blog. In it
I hope to give you tips, show more pics of some plants, and
let you know about the climate here during shipping season,
which plays a big role in when we can ship plants. Right now
I have 5 posts about about cutting back grasses. Check out the
blog here: www.bluestemnursery.blogspot.com.
Don't worry about trying to commit the address to memory, as
there is a link to it from almost every page of out website.

If you look on the righthand side of the blog there are something
called Labels. You can look / click there to find further info
on the subjects listed. Its like a Table of Contents.
Its proving to be a great way to get some extra info out, without
sending out a newsletter. I still have bad memories of being
cut off by my Internet Service Provider because they thought
this computer was sending out spam.
Winter has come to an end early for us this year, and we have
been shipping willow cuttings and rods, as well as plugs of
our cool season grasses already. This will lengthen the time
over which we can ship our plants, making the shipping season
a bit less stressful, I hope.
