Well, the landscaper showed up this morning and took out the stump of the viburnum.
\nI was at the salon, and my mother called to say that the landscapers had arrived and were busy taking out the stump. They were originally supposed to have done it last Tuesday. It was rescheduled to Friday. No one showed up.
\nI talked with the landscaper’s wife and told her that I didn’t want them to work on the stump unless I was around. So much for communication.
\nSo, when I got home, they were about two-thirds of the way done. I watched as they took out the rest. Unfortunately, I had to point out an arm of it they had missed, and you know that if I was able to see that one arm, there are others just below the surface that I missed.
\nI plan to add LOT of compost to the area, working it into the soil. Once the area has been cleared, I’ll plant new perennials and then mulch everything. Can you envision Bluebeard<\/a>, Russian Sage<\/a>, Sunrise Coneflower<\/a>, and Homestead Purple Verbena<\/a> leading from the brick walls out to the edge of the garden?
\nThe last thing the landscaper did before he and his crew left was to plant the new redbud. We agreed on how far forward of the house the tree should go. We have the species that has just one trunk, rather than the kind that grows multiple trunks. It’s just a baby tree. It will be a long time before it fills out and shades the area again.
\nI’ve wanted a redbud for a very long time. Cop Car tried to help me out by transplanting several of the seedlings from her lawn, but we lost them over the winter. We’ll have to hope that this one lasts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
