Tomorrow (Friday)is Arbor Day. Here in Minnesota it is the last Friday of April. I'll be showing some tips on tree planting today during 5 Eyewitness News at 4 and then again Friday morning during 5 Eyewitness News Midday.
Speaking of trees, the beautiful magnolias are in bloom right now. Yes, you can grow magnolias in Minnesota. There are three that I see every day on my drive to and from work – they are spectacular right now. A few varieties hardy in this area include Leonard Messel, Merrill and Royal Star. While they are different then those that grow further south, it is a great way to give your yard some southern charm.
If you have kids who like to color, here is a link to a website that has trees that you can easily print out for your kids to color in celebration of Arbor Day.

I’ll have some more tomorrow – including what my plan is with my container gardens.
Make your day a good one.
