That's so sad about the ceanothus shrubs but that can happen with those. Love to see your before and after pictures. Gorgeous tulips Stephanie. I want a battery operated chainsaw for pruning some of my giant rodies. I did pick up a battery powered weed whacker and blower. The ones with the motors are just to heavy and I can never get them started.
We will see how they work.
Looks good around my yard except I bought some of those fancy daylilies and they must have rotted because no appearance has been made yet. I still have hope. They sure are not like the ones I bought years ago that grow like weeds but those beautiful blooms got me. Also had some rotted Iris. This has been such a wet spring. Rained all day yesterday, today looks promising. I'm working on a new raised bed for my sedum and Sempervivum, a rock garden like thing.
