Happy Friday! Another short one this week. Some of you have said, “Don’t apologize for the short ones! It’s less I have to read!” So, I’m not sorry. Better?
- Buffalo Bills happy w/ new grass field at St. John Fisher. This is wonderful! We’re happy they’re happy. It would have been even cooler if the reporter had mentioned the turf came from our sponsors Batavia Turf (who, by the way, have a new website). But you can’t have everything.
- This is intriguing: Garden Rant says there is a “Big Name” gardening website coming soon. Who do YOU think is behind it?
- What to expect for next year? Check out the Garden Media Group’s 2013 Trends Report. (You do have to provide an email address to get at it, but I haven’t found the GMC to be obnoxious about overuse.)
- Congrats to Brichcrest Tree & Landscape’s Jeremy Passinault, best tree climber in NYS & Brian Krawczyk, runner-up.
- Don’t I know it—I’ve had horrible, literally scarring encounters with this beast. From North Country Public Radio, “Giant Hogweed is a plant invader that threatens people as much as ecoystems.” Still, I think it’s a cool plant and have even grown it in my garden. (I know, bad bad bad.)

- Nice! Local landscaper Bruce Zaretsky is in American Nurseryman with this piece: Anatomy of a Wall Failure.
- OK, the pictures in this absolutely crack me up, and I’d never heard about the project until I started seeing it pop up all over the place on the Internet last week. Can Sculptures Fix Buffalo’s Urban Farming? (More importantly, can giraffes?)
- This is great & it’s time, because gardeners want to love roses, but we hate messing around with them. From the NYTimes. “Seeking a More Vigorous and Self-Sufficient Rose.”
- The winners of Buffalo’s Front Yard Contest have been announced! Plenty of old friends in the mix, and a few new names.
- Nice Brighton garden profile in the D & C. UGJ pals Ock Hee Hale of Bloomfield Gardens and Oriental Garden Supply‘s Al Pfieffer mentioned.
