Went to the garden center today...

A little place called House by the side of the road. It is not so little though. I was looking for some type of bush to use as a barrier on top of one wall to take away the starkness of the woods behind. I got some help from the owner and he hooked me up with a very helpful person. She showed me a lot of ideas and listened to what I was trying to do... We came up with 4 Mountain Fire Andromeda bushes... They look great. I am having a few issues with my internet conection but should have a few pictures to show soon...

I really like Andromeda bushes. I have a few of my own - although some are really not doing well - long story. Anyway, they are really going to fill in that area, you know. It should look nice. They are going to get a good height and they will definitely grow into one another.

I loved that place when we lived there. They have a wonderful sale at the end of the season. Don't miss it.

I think it's a wonderful idea and it looks great. I'm sure once they fill-in it will soften the transition.

Great job Nat.

I love that color of the mulch. We've gone with a reddish color too and last year it didn't fade very fast. But I don't think I'm going to have as much luck. Looks nice!

Looks good, Nat!

It's great when you can hook up with someone who really is interested and enthused about helping out with some ideas.
