It might seem unfamiliar to you, but the truth is I’ve been working behind the scenes of Backyard Living from the beginning. And as its new editor, I’m asking you to E-mail me your suggestions and ideas…anything you believe will help our staff make the magazine, Plus newsletter or Web site even better! I’ll read every E-mail that comes my way, and do my best to respond to as many of you as I can. So, please, contact me at rachael@backyardlivingmagazine.com. Your June/July issue should arrive in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, take a sneak peek into this exciting issue by enjoying your subscriber-only Plus features right now! We’re including some tips on disease-free roses as well as a photo gallery from our Budget Backyard Makeover. We’ll also show you how a neighborhood established a beautiful prairie garden for all to enjoy. And we know you love plant profiles, so here’s a few favorite shade plants and plants that attract birds to your yard. And for those who want to liven up their garden, try making our pretty plant markers, or enjoy expert advice from the Plant Doctor and our own GreenMan’s Podcasts. I look forward to hearing from you! —Rachael Liska, Editor $$parm2$$ ----------------- Disease-Free Roses Seven steps to protect your roses. Click to see how.
