Thanks to a suggestion from Bill Edgerton and Danielle’s concurrence there are now two Althea \/ Hibiscus Syriacus \/ Rose of Sharon<\/a> bushes planted on each side of the sidewalk, next to the driveway, replacing the two dead shrubs<\/a>. Two different colors were purchased a Chiffon (blue)<\/a> for closest to my place and an Aphrodite (pink)<\/a> for the space across the sidewalk, next to my neighbor’s place. They were planted in decent size holes, placed on a cone of clay, surrounded potting soil, sprinkled lightly with slow-release fertilizer, and topped with the sand\/clay\/dirt mixture that was dug out of the holes. Each has been been watered and lightly rained on, so hopefully they’ll take and fill in these spaces nicely.<\/p>\n

Click here<\/a> if you’d like to see all the photos of the new shrubs, including the tags.<\/p>\n

On the topic of growing things, this year’s flowers (and herbs and such) have come along very nicely since they were planted back on May 22nd<\/sup><\/a>. The sage went from forlorn<\/a> to full<\/a>, Danielle’s Meyer lemon<\/a> tree has lemons on it<\/a>, the nicotina around the tree<\/a> has filled in<\/a>, and the purple plant has practically exploded. Compare this photo of the porch from three months ago<\/a> with this one taken this afternoon<\/a>.<\/p>\n
