My neighbor also has people coming in and do the pruning and cutting grass and cleaning. They park right in front of my house. I told them last week please do not come on Fridays, because they block my trashcans so when the Fairfax people come, they will not be able to pick them up, blocked by the truck and extension. I wish my neighbors had oak trees, in stead of crepe myrtle, huney suckle, English ivy, black walnut, maple, sycamore, and rose of Sharon, and magnolia. Instead of having the nice oak leaves for mulch mulch, I get saplings of them---My Brug is blooming now and growing bigger. I have 1 open flower now and 4 more coming----so beautiful. I pruned drastically pruned my very old knockout rose, and it thanked my by blooming so beautifully, lots of flowers! Bought it on sale for $14.oo when it first came out from Lowes. Actually I bought 2, the other one I have to take it out, it had the dreaded disease Rose Rosette and before it contaminate others I took it out. Had to take out 2 from the front yard----and put them int the trash in a thick trash bag, tied close, so the viruses could not get out.
