I don't know if you can see the road - but it is a pretty good distance away where the plow doesn't throw snow on it. I'm hoping you can see the plows rathh. The neighbors barrels got knocked down from that like 2 minutes before this pic. Unfortunately I have to say - no it does not seem to grow fast. The few twigs it got that were new were tiny and some of them probably won't survive the winter! (This could be due to it having been container grown and it could be developing it's root system and grow faster soon - I hope) Hopefully you all have better luck! It is pretty much the same as when I planted it. I cheated and bought it that size at HD. It wasn't too badly priced there. They ended up having a bunch on clearance later and I was tempted to rescue some. (resisted the urge though) They looked like homely things after being left in the care of HD staff for a month or two!
My DH loves his lawn! I'll see if he can be tempted to watch the races! lol I know he loves cars - he used to be a mechanic. Now he builds gunite swimming pools - this is the only reason we have been able to start one! He has done all the work himself (except the actual application of the gunite). Most of the materials were leftovers from other jobs! He has built swimming pools for NE Patriots, his company has quite the reputation! All though he is starting with a new company this year. Which I am a little nervous about!
