Hamamelis Arnold Promise in a hedge?
Comments (6)I have privet here and there - quite a lot in the work area of my yard behind the garage. It's good for privacy, very dense growth and provides screening and bird habitat even in winter - apparently that's not a concern for you now but might be sometime in the future. My 2 complaints with privet are that the flowers smell awful and that it self-sows so much. If I sheared it, those problems would disappear, but I don't have the patience for that. Unsheared forsythia makes a wide, dense, informal hedge. For part shade, kerria might work better - it gives much the same effect and the stems are bright green. Both grow quickly and can be kept slightly smaller by hand pruning after flowering, cutting the longest stems back to the ground. What about a native, like lindera benzoin, sambucus, or clethra? All are fast growing, and a little rangy, giving a natural, woodsy look to the hedge, and all work well in part shade. I'd pick any one of them over forsythia or privet; the clethra is probably the nicest for an informal hedge....See MoreA graden tour from Between Naps on the Porch
Comments (4)Hello Gail- Hope you are doing okay. Today all the windows are opened and I was in the mood to clean and tidy up the garden shed. It was such a mess from son just stacking stuff right inside the door doesn't cut it. Aaron did have to help and move bags of weed and feed and some other heavy stuff. We turned on the portable a/c unit which helped. I came in the house and everyone is napping. Anyhow do you know of a good and reliable sprinkler person? I checked the sprinklers out front and need some repair work done....See MoreEvil Jessy.......You woke me from my Nap........

Comments (39)How come when guys sleep around it arouses much less flack than when women do the same? A friend had a husband that was caught several times during his career "enjoying" extra-marital intimate escapades and part of her response was to wonder in what way she might have failed. I suggested to her that, having forgiven him once, on his promise to behave himself, following the second occasion (or a later one), I might well have said to him that the next time that he was found pursuing such activities ... ... that I'd go out and do precisely the same. She had. His response? A vehement, "I'd kill you!!". Sauce for geese and sauce for ganders doesn't seem to be of quite the same taste! ole joyful...See Moremainegard3
