There is a whole new row of trees going in behind the Petworth metro. There is other landscaping on the side which also looks good.

Speaking of trees I received a number of emails about trouble with the new trees going into the New Hampshire Ave medians. Apparently the median is not deep enough to support trees and DDOT is not being helpful in correcting the situation. Rather than post the same thing twice – you can find out how to help at Petworth News.

While you are at PN you can also find out how to ensure the YES! Organic Market gets a beer and wine license.


This is the worst part of all this rain. I hate losing these great trees. Thanks to a reader for sending this photo from Upshur & Mathewson in Crestwood.

So the rain related question is – can too much rain be bad for a vegetable garden or am I gonna have a bumper crop as a result?


I don’t think I’ve ever seen chain link fence around a tree like this before. I’m guessing it’s just temporary. Anyone know what the deal is?


Wild! A reader sent in this photo (sadly just of the plaque and not the tree.) It was found on New Hampshire Ave. somewhere between Dupont Circle and M Street. Anyone ever seen this tree/plaque before? Pretty cool.


It had the most extraordinary flowers with an insanely vibrant color. I actually saw a bunch of these trees all over town, anyone what kind they are?


I love the proper cherry blossom festival and all but I equally love catching trees in bloom around town. This next month to six weeks could be the greatest time to enjoy DC.

Anyone check out the proper festival this weekend?


I think I smell a series brewing… So, what the hell is this? Was the bucket placed there when the tree was just a sapling? Or is this just pure randomness?
