Ok, I give up on my phone, think I need a new one, this certainly does not do justice to what it really looks like. Ha ha but I guess you get the general idea. I need to get trees on either side of pathway so I can plant my azaleas and rhododendrons, not sure what kind, let me know if you get any ideas.
Ya I think probably only a month and we'll have cooler temps. Fall is supposed to be a good time to plant trees, and most of the nurserys have them clearances or on sale too! I always buy a product called 'root stimulator' find it at the nursery's, mix it with water, I was told from my fav garden guru to soak the tree or shrubs in the stimulizer for about 24 hours, then plant it and pour the rest in with the tree. I swear buy it, keeps the trees from going into shock.
I soaked my katsura tree real good for about an hour the other day, I have new leaves all over it! yeah!
Let me know if you find any good trees!
Hey if you are ever up this way, that business I told you about, "The Rock Garden" he is selling his house, and should be getting rid of alot of his established tree's and shrubs as well as the ones he sells, I will probably go see him tomorrow, I'll let you know if has alot of good deals; he has an amazing yard, very woodsy/japanese feel - sad to see him go.
