Update on Our Rockery
Well, I have to admit, it doesn’t look half bad. At least I don’t think so. My daughter the landscaper, just shook her head. “What were they thinking??” she muttered to herself. “Just look at the spacing!”
Actually I couldn’t wait for her to get home, so I could tell her the names of the plants. It’s not the real names, but the names that the guy planting told me. He obviously does not know his shrubs very well lol, but I didn’t know that at the time. So, I asked him what he was planting.
He pointed to a juniper… “that’s a pine over there.” And then he pointed to a bush with little yellow flowers on it. “That’s a bush with little yellow flowers, and those things over there, I don’t know what they are.”
Okay, I didn’t know what some of them were either, so I can’t fault him for that lol… even though he was planting them. I obviously didn’t bother to ask how to care for them. And oh yes, I think I mentioned that we are supposed to get a 12 foot pine tree for the front of the house. Actually, it’s a 12 foot cedar!
We haven’t received ours yet, but I’m looking at one across the street, and there is a big dead spot facing the street. Spring should be interesting around here!
Awww, I nearly have enough material for a book lol…
