bushes and trees

I planted two new bushes in my backyard.  A really pretty hydrangea that Brian gave me for Mother’s day and a flowering quince that I saw at Kroger a couple of weeks ago.  They always have the prettiest potted plants sitting outside the entrance at the Kroger Market Place here in Spring Hill.

I put the Hydrangea on the north and west side of my backyard fence.  I hope the fence will help protect it a little in the winter.

The quince is just in a bare spot in the bed that runs across the back of my house.

I also planted a pot of sweet basil and a pot of rosemary.

I didn’t get a tree like I said I would last summer so I’m getting two  this year.  I found a local nursery – they actually grow most everything they sell .  They have over 500 acres so that’s a lot of growing!! Anyway, I picked out a river birch tree and a red Maple tree.  They recommended someone who would pick them up and bring them to the house and plant them for me and they did just that.

 

 

 

Now I just want them to grow fast!!
