MORE SPRING 2007

We were very busy bunnies that springtime. Or rather we managed to get other people to help with being busy. The next major project for this time was the extermination of the conifers in the front of the house to let more light in and open up the whole area. This was vertical gardening at its limit! We knew we were beaten with this one and called in the professionals and they did more wonderful a job than I could have imagined. The largest of the conifers must have been at least 40 feet and twin trunked. Not only did our tree man cut them down, but he left me with these unbelievable mushrooms. A true craftsman. Then he let loose on the rest of the trees and hey presto! SPACE I planted a couple of acid loving bits there, dug up an azalea from the back and put in a rhododendron which I bought with a gift from the lovely Elaine. When we left England, Elaine's daughter had some of our roses and made up a "memorial garden" for us - glad to know we are creating something similar for here here!
