    Somehow, It's Funny that Way

    Buddleia thriving?

    I planted mine in the early morning gentle sun where it gets afternoon shade from the hot summer sun. Others in my garden seem to like shade from the summer heat. Once established watering is seldom needed. Easy plant to trim and keep the flowers poppin. Good Luck 👍

    Show your pics of Autumn color from trees shrubs . And anything else in between. Vines , perennials…

    @Lichnus Yes of course Anna’s dwarf is a perfect small dwarf tree for gardens. I’ve seen variegated dwarf ginkgos , quite showy . Or tiny bonsai if you have time for training a tiny tree. I have a special place in my heart for bonsai but I can’t seem to develop the patience or discipline for the...

    Trimming tree limbs that hang over the pastures and hopped out of the woods thruout several areas and the wild blackberries is finally completed.

    A little tree planting journey

    So sorry that is so frustrating with all the work and plans for tree. I totally get it my horses chewed down 6 trees over night a couple years ago. They were white paper birch trees. Love the mossy bark that grows on the pealing bark and great to collect for covering gifts and wall hamgings...
