Landscaping 101

It seemed for months that all I was doing was removing plants (climbing hydrangea, wisteria, camellia - in addition to the dozen or so trees I had removed).

I finally "cultivated" (dug up remaining white pine roots and added LOTS of compost) the ground under the kitchen window and planted a Choisya "Sundance" in the hard shade and this lovely Acer Palmatum (Japanese Maple) "Tiger Rose".



I am just thrilled with it and can't wait to watch it grow. It has turned a luminous salmon pink color this fall.
