Victor, I love those crapes, a plant (shrub) I know nothing about. I will be reading about them today. That is a better than nice drive. Mine is in serious need of some working. I have a boat to deal with that is a giant eyesore, but much loved. I am getting DH to move it this spring as it is on the Victor List. I have the spot almost cleared.

I have a few areas that Eleanor would find lacking, but sometimes that happens even to the most passionate of gardeners or wannabes. Could be a "Work in progress", or an area that "just isn't working" and has been "put on hold", or "out of sight, out of mind" or the "plate is just too full" or a real illness or tragedy that has made a garden turn into a tangled weed patch. I have experienced all of those and at the moment I have a few of these areas. Guilty. But I will address them when I get a round toit.

Here is my major eyesore. Please imagine it gone with a nice view into the woods behind with maybe some ? once I clean up the edge and widen the drive a bit and figure out if I need to or want to take down a choke cherry. I can't even ponder the space until "Little Joe" is moved to a new spot that is not so visible. Plus there is another small sailboat behind her which will also be moved. Patti
