It is such a lovely warm day and I have a dogwood that I need to move.

Some time between now and March, I'll be moving some mature plants that I'm being given. It will be nice to get them but a lot of hard work to get them out of the ground.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-67496798548099930982009-01-01T06:14:00.000-08:002009-01-01T06:14:00.000-08:00I find pruning back bushes (especially roses--I've...I find pruning back bushes (especially roses--I've never grown one myself but I've pruned a lot for clients or as a volunteer!) very satisfying, and I also like transplanting. Here in Michigan we can't do it mid-winter as the ground is frozen. I do a TON of transplanting in fall (Sept.-Oct.). In spring, I always kind of forget what I've done and am surprised by all the progress I made (hey! It's hard to see things under the snow!). One year, I couldn't find where I'd moved my fothergilla until it bloomed--but that's because I didn't know what its leaves looked like! ;-)<BR/>~ Monica<BR/>P.S. I've never been nervous pruning or transplanting, and it really is hard to kill a shrub.Monica the Garden Faeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369882350990949968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-22954763106998337412008-12-31T19:31:00.000-08:002008-12-31T19:31:00.000-08:00Looks like you had a great day.

I do not need to move anything, but the whole garden needs another round of clean up. Unfortunately my across the street neighbor has one of those damnable oaks that continues to drop large leaves until March. I hope you have a happy and prosperous new year!<BR/><BR/>(BTW, the verification word for this comment is "darednes")Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-58500785997032876152008-12-30T23:23:00.000-08:002008-12-30T23:23:00.000-08:00Happy New Year, Phillip!
