After a relatively dry start, our weather has been decidedly wet lately, so the timing on this move was pretty good.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-8427127645755962742017-07-23T20:46:29.104-04:002017-07-23T20:46:29.104-04:00Wonderful!

As you say, it probably depends on the species, the particular tree, and other issues. That front area looks great with the Spruce trees relocated! And it sounds like you have some good plans for the other areas. I'll look forward to your next post!Beth @ PlantPostingshttps://plantpostings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-79556121099246192832017-07-23T08:03:01.750-04:002017-07-23T08:03:01.750-04:00We have had plenty of rain lately - not great for ...We have had plenty of rain lately - not great for the garlic with the bad case of rust, but wonderful for the spruce!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-59542337041518039522017-07-23T08:01:33.403-04:002017-07-23T08:01:33.403-04:00I'd never heard of it either so it never would...I'd never heard of it either so it never would have occurred to me to search for it.

Well, maybe I should hold off on commenting on that until after I visit the nursery when it's time to plant up the borders - I have a feeling I will have a hard time holding back!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-5494497604480689932017-07-21T16:45:14.405-04:002017-07-21T16:45:14.405-04:00It never occurred to me either until I started loo...It never occurred to me either until I started looking for companies that sold mature spruce trees and ran across a couple of companies that provided this service.
