5. Sounds good to me, but I needed to hear a trusted source second the motion before trying it.

As you might guess, landscaping is a passion with me and I put a lot of store in plants and trees I've worked on for almost 8 years. It would've been far simpler to go with knockout roses - just plant 'em and forget 'em - but I'm stuck on teas, which take a lot more coaxing. Well, and a few climbers, some of which now reach 12-15'. I like the challenge of growing things where they're not supposed to grow. In another 10 years we'll probably be able to grow oranges here.
