... Buxus microphylla. Buxaceae (boxwood family). Common names are: littleleaf boxwood, small-leaved boxwood, boxwood. Adapted to Zones 3-6, 15-17, 31-34, 39, is a classic hedge shrub. It can reach 15 feet high and wide, but you'll usually see it pruned smaller. When lightly pruned, bushes spill and mound over each other; clipped into boxy, straight-edged geometrical shapes, they line pathways and define the edges of formal plantings. The matte green, oval leaves are just 1 inch long; the small size makes the plant a good candidate for shearing, since cut marks are inconspicuous. Common boxwood cannot tolerate alkaline soils or hot summers.

Blackberries
... Blackberries grow in two distinct forms; both bear fruit in summer. The canes of both kinds begin growth in one year, then produce a crop in the second year; they then die (to be replaced by new canes). Blackberry varieties from the midwestern and eastern states tend to be the erect sort: hardy, stiff-caned plants that grow upright to 4 to 6 feet. Both erect blackberries and semierect types (crosses between erect and trailing types) succeed in Zones 1-9, 14-41. Blackberries commonly grown in the West tend to be trailing. Some of these are so distinctive that they have separate names--boysenberry, loganberry, marionberry, olallieberry. In the South, trailing kinds known as dewberries are often grown. Trailing blackberries are hardy in Zones 4-9, 14-24; some types succeed in Zones 28-32. Plant erect blackberries 2 to 3 feet apart, allowing 6 to 10 feet between rows. Trailing blackberries need more room; set them 4 to 6 feet apart and allow 9 to 10 feet between rows. After planting, cut back canes of both kinds to 8 to 10 inches long. In areas with very cold winters, blackberries that are marginally hardy for your area should be mulched heavily over winter. Bury the first-year canes (those that have not yet produced a crop) under a layer of straw, leaves, or cut conifer branches. Pests and diseases. Blackberries are susceptible to verticillium wilt, so don't plant them where you have grown potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, or peppers in the last 2 years. Prevent problems by buying healthy stock.

The Leyland Cypress (Cupressocyparis leylandii) is an excellent choice for gardeners who want the lush look of a neatly pruned conifer but don't want to wait for a yew hedge to grow. It's suited to Zones 3-24, 26, 28-34, 39. In 5 years, it will reach 15 to 20 feet high--and because it isn't bothered by strong winds, the hedge can double as a windbreak. To keep it manageable, prune it moderately to severely on a regular basis.

Super Good Cents / Natural Choice
... Northwest Energy Efficient Home Program. The Oregon Office of Energy and the manufactured housing industry have teamed up to offer home buyers state-certified, energy-efficient manufactured homes that exceed Oregon energy code standards. Certified energy-efficient manufactured homes offer consumers quality construction, lower heating and cooling bills, a well-designed ventilation system and added comfort. The certification program is industry funded, and doesn't rely on utility rebates for purchasing incentives.

Good Cents
... When it comes to choosing a new electrically heated manufactured home, energy conservation measures give you the most for your money. These measures can save a third of more of your space heating costs. Extra insulation in the floor, ceiling, and walls helps reduce heating and cooling bills. High performance windows hold heat in during the winter and out during the summer. A controlled mechanical ventilation system exhausts stale air and odors, while fresh air circulates evenly throughout the whole house. Holes are caulked and sealed wherever plumbing and wiring are installed, and around all windows and doors.
