One more...because it only makes sense here.
Zuzu thanks for the reassurance on Hortico delivery. I wouldn't have been able to plant last week anyway because of the stormy weather.
A friend went to Lowes and her clerk rang her tree rose as a tree without any suggestions from her! They are getting a new shipment today and needed the roses without blooms to go away!
Lyn--weird thing--the storm took out a huge healthy tree but left other weaker trees. Most of the garden looks untouched. We think it was some sort of downburst. I see trees in the area around me that are healthy that are snapped off in the middle, while long dead ones that should fall any day are still standing. My chairs that usually blow in 30 mph winds never moved, same with empty pots I left out! My husband and I are experienced at tree work, so we'll take care of it all ourselves. The petty part of me wishes our neighbors would get a bid on their tree work just once so they realize the thousands of dollars we have saved them when we take out their trees out of neighborliness. It's sure a handy skill to have, and good equipment to own since the storms keep getting more severe each year.
