Hi Sue,
Wish I had all the info on you yesterday. The landscaper still talks about your knowledge on trees. He spent many hours working on my side of the house. He’s taking your advice,so no big tree will go in. Keeping small trees.
He came up with another plan, so hope it works.
I’ve always loved flowers even as a young kid. I also love to look at beautiful manicured lawns and landscaping.
I’m somewhat of a perfectionist, I always stay outside when the Gardner’s come, and work with them.
Have many rose bushes, trees and climbers, I do not let the Gardner touch them.
I have pots of plants/flowers on side retaining wall I can view from window.
My folks, family.never had any interest in greenery, so I don’t know where the interest came from.
In January my Gardner did a big sod job, he tossed the extra sod he did not use in the back of his truck along with a one gallon half dead rose bush.
I saw the rose bush, he said I could have it, as it was no good.
I asked him to dig a hole for the rose bush, he did but said it was a waste of his gardening time. Anyway, I planted the rose, watered it, cared for it, and today it’s over 5 feet tall. It’s a climber, and has plenty of room to climb.
It has a million beautiful white with light pink tips roses.
Gardner for awhile kept saying I took the rose plant he gave me, and tossed it out, and then bought a new plant, and put it in its place.. I did not.
He was amazed I worked with the plant.
I did give up on planting vegetables, the wild life gets to everything first.
Take care,
Funcountess
