Behind those trees is Cedar Court’s very own Secret Garden.
My camera went with me whenever I stayed in the backyard with my cat Marley. I post only the common gardens because that is the focus of the Cedar Court Garden Committee. I found plants I did not know we had.
A Rose Bush that Blooms all Summer
Early Spring Beauty
We can transform this place! I post gardening ideas but the Garden Committee will decide what works best.
On this website, I list each post under two headings, for example, Season 2021 and Early Summer. If Cedar Court Gardens continues through Summer 2022, this year will be called Season 2022. I divide a Season into four parts:
- Spring: From first sprouts after snow melts till last frost or late May.
- Early Summer: When danger of frost is past and weather is consistently warm around early June till end of July. Blooms and plants this time of year are vivid in colour, tender and moist, easily broken or crushed.
- Late Summer: August and September. Plants become more woody and tough, perhaps for drought and deer resistance, and colours are less vibrantly brilliant, especially of foliage.
- Fall: From first frost or early October to killing frost or winter, generally in November or December. Some plants survive brief periods of early snow and ice.

Guidelines for Comments & Posts
In nearly twenty years experience with online forums where people exchange ideas, debate, and chat, I’ve seen and experienced some extremely hurtful things. We don’t want that here. The best policy I have yet seen for a friendly online atmosphere is Quora’s policy to Be Nice, Be Respectful. Here are some quotes:
Respect opposing or differing opinions, beliefs and conclusions. Try to listen to and understand others you may disagree with. …
No hate speech
Quora is a place for civil discourse and does not tolerate content that attacks or disparages an individual or group based on race, gender, religion, nationality, ethnicity, political group, sexual orientation or another similar characteristic. …No harassment or bullying
Abusive behavior is not allowed on Quora….Be respectful of other people’s content. Assume other people…are acting sincerely and in good faith…
Criticism and diversity of opinions
Quora is a place for diverse people with diverse views and experiences. There will be times when content may express a negative point of view, or one that does not agree with your own…. Quora’s BNBR policy is not intended to prevent criticism on matters of public interest….When expressing a negative viewpoint, people should ensure their criticism is relevant to the point at hand, and does not contain unfounded or absurd accusations….Using any of the words on Wikipedia’s list of ethnic slurs is not allowed…
Bottom line: Be nice and respectful to all in all interactions even when we disagree. If we replace “Quora” with “Cedar Court Gardens,” I think these are good guidelines for this website/blog, too.
