Doris, welcome!
You and Betty are correct, I need to put them in a raised bed. Which means they may be potted initially, and crossing my fingers & hoping that I can pull the front of the house evergreen bushes mid summer, and put a raised bed in there. (it's on a slope, so I have to landscape, just can't pull out the bushes) Good comment about putting them in raised bed. Now cross your fingers I can redo that area - last summer I ended up removing a couple of trees that died suddenly instead. ~Jan
