I love buying fun plants that are new to me thus I have a groovy collection of plants but not so much a well planned and executed garden!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-26239587920693958942013-03-21T15:38:02.694-07:002013-03-21T15:38:02.694-07:00OOPS!

It's so true that someone always calls when one is smoking, drinking, and chainsawing! ;) Good luck deciding what to replace the tree with. I always plan out my gardens - then the plan gets thrown out the window when I get to the garden center and impulsively buy. I just can't seem to get the planning and the buying parts together!HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-37688774783525630672013-03-21T00:28:58.702-07:002013-03-21T00:28:58.702-07:00Once my husband was building a garage for us and h...Once my husband was building a garage for us and he had to build its roof.

I recall a post about you going out in flip flops or sandals and deciding to do some major transplanting. I get it, when the urge strikes, it strikes. Things like appropriate footwear, eye protection, etc. just don't seem to matter, plus it would take time from the project to find that stuff.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-48106519575324838292013-03-20T15:37:06.366-07:002013-03-20T15:37:06.366-07:00Oh silly, a garden project isn't complete with...Oh silly, a garden project isn't complete without a little blood. Besides, it's a nitrogen-rich fertilizer. I am more careful now than I was in my misspent youth. I've heard that cutting suckers of unwanted trees and painting the freshly cut wood with brush be gone will kill them. It can also kill the tree from which they came but in the case of your cherry and my my pear, it might work.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-58071212715953425882013-03-20T15:33:24.518-07:002013-03-20T15:33:24.518-07:00I admired the sumac but never thought of using it ...I admired the sumac but never thought of using it in the garden. I'll have to see what it looks like after it dries.<br /><br />It is private and the steeple gets blocked by the magnolia macrophylla in the parking strip outside the fence so it's all good.

No ideas for your plant needs, but I'll let you know if I think of something.
