We had a hydrania in front of the house. "I am tired of that thing taking up the whole side of the house. Dig it up," said she. Shovel in hand, I proceeded. After about an hour, I finally gave up. Got my lariates out from my cowboy days and put a loop around the roots. Tied it to my other rope and tied that one to the back of my truck. When that joker came loose it was like a cork popping out of a bottle. Landed about 30 feet away right in the middle of the day lily bed. "I guess I'll pull it around to the back and set fire to it," says I. "Oh no, cut it in half and replant it," says she. Out comes the ax. Chop, chop chop. Dig, dig, dig. Two hours later back in the ground.

You are to modest Moon. Very talented lady. Much to smart to be a Red-Neck.

Dig a hole and stick something in it, is the way I do landscaping. If it grows there it goes there. Didn't know azaleas needed partial shade. Planted my first ones next to a ditch I was tired of mowing. Thanfully no one told the azaleas they weren't supposed to grow there. Been doing good for about 30 years. Know better now but planted one in the sun anyway. Died over night. Ignorance is bliss.

Picture of a hydrania that the lady hasn't decided to move, yet.
