It's evergreen most years in your area. Fast-growing. Forms a nice dense bush/tree screen. Host to a couple species of sulphur butterflies. Flowers yellow and the birds love it for cover and nesting. Just the right size to fill a segment of wall.Kathleen Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10868566314392048880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822343629005349934.post-19791300098210651682010-03-12T10:34:02.572-06:002010-03-12T10:34:02.572-06:00I was thinking about painting the wall too, Sue. ...I was thinking about painting the wall too, Sue. I suppose as long as I only paint on our side it won't hurt. (the other side faces the little no-outlet road that goes behind the house) Not sure if I'll paint a sort of mural on it, or just paint it a more neutral color. As the fence either side weathers, that wall is really going to stand out.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09993407315693699146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822343629005349934.post-50867623974791986172010-03-11T19:59:41.082-06:002010-03-11T19:59:41.082-06:00I like the size you made the planting area.

It might be fun to paint some birdhouses or something on it.<br /><br />I am thinking I want to pull a few inches of grass around the edge of my east beds to expand them a little.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822343629005349934.post-56131283756025946122010-03-11T19:14:54.578-06:002010-03-11T19:14:54.578-06:00I'm glad to know that it's so easy to have...I'm glad to know that it's so easy to have someone come out and mark utility lines. I'm thinking about doing that when I decide to plant a tree or two north of my house. There's phone, cable and electric to worry about...<br /><br />Nice job Jayne! :DKynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222304237028745181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822343629005349934.post-6332344927623618322010-03-10T11:42:31.428-06:002010-03-10T11:42:31.428-06:00Thanks Deborah, yes it's great to have help.

The border is WAY to skinny in many areas. My excuse is, "I plant to widen it as the plants mature".... yeah...I MEANT to do that!!!! :)Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18123627573356760362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822343629005349934.post-38477514038821409062010-03-10T10:40:30.897-06:002010-03-10T10:40:30.897-06:00Bigger is always better, isn't it.
