That would solve my carbon shortage in my compost heap. Seems I'm always digging around for cardboard or something when I run out of leaves. I never really liked breaking up sticks by hand so chipping seems like something I may look in to. I have some HoneySuckle plants that are tree sized and have lots of dead branches begging to give my compost heap a balanced carbon nitrogen ratio.

Seedlings often look alike, and there are hundreds of plants that produce seedlines like what you've described. However, if I had to guess, I'd say look up. Chances are with so many they are from a nearby tree. No… and I’ll tell you why. Seedlings often look alike, and there are hundreds of plants that produce seedlines like what you’ve described.

My beds and lawn are filled with some sort of seedling this year. The sprouts have two narrow, smooth oblong leaves and there are thousands of them. I live on a fairly wooded lot, but I've never had this happen. Can someone tell me what the heck they are? I’m hoping someone can help me.

As crazy as it may sound it's snowing right now! Just three weeks ago we thought spring had sprung,but now we see our plants tortured by the snow... Just keep up the hard work and the beauty will be worth it! ~Sanora~ Living in the northeast I too know the agonizing pain of seeing your plants go down the drain due to April weather!

Eliot wrote, "April is the cruelest month..." How true! I expect you've lost a lot of plants and flowers this week, as have I in Illinois. 15 degrees this morning. The daffodils are lying flat on the ground. The forsythia blooms are frozen. Many of my perennials look like they won't make it. Urrgh! The poet T.S.
