| Blue Moon, approx 2 years old, zone 6b NJ, March 28, 2011 |
At the end of the summer last year I bought a Blue Moon honeyberry bush from a local nursery because it was 60% off. After a couple weeks its leaves turned brown and fell off. The bush pretty much looked dead so I just put it off to the side and forgot about it. This morning I went out to check on my fruit plants and to my surprise the Blue Moon has large green buds all over!

| First Year Tundra, New Jersey zone 6b, July 2010 |
This Tundra arrived in New Jersey on June 6, 2010, and after a couple of days of being hardened off, was set out in a mixture of 1 part organic soil mix, 1 part construction sand, and 1 part pine bark mulch (just what I happened to have on hand) with a ph level of 6.5-6.8. It did well over the summer, though didn't grow much more. Around March 20, 2011 it started to break dormancy with many buds that started to swell. Matt

I am not surprised at this growth. How pleasant to see the green grass! We are slowly showing a little brown "dead" grass here and that is ok as we expect some serious flooding if it goes quickly.
