Anyone else sitting with catalogs and stuff surrounding them in the
evenings plotting out what they're going to do this spring? *grin*

I just placed my order for seeds over the weekend with Seeds of Change.
Now I have to figure out what I'm digging up in order to put
more/different plants/roses in. (My excuse - the previous owner of our
house put them in so they're "fair game".) The s.o. just looks at the
catalogues with their post it note markers and notations and walks away
shaking his head. I keep reminding him, more plants = less grass to mow.

In addition, I just put in 10 blueberry bushes last week and am debating
about whether I want a dwarf fig and if I do, do I want it to be a
container plant or should I dig up the bradford pear and replace it with
the dwarf fig? Anyone have any experience with dwarf figs in the the
Triangle? *grin*

Hello, Susan-

Please use a kind eye when considering that 'the previous owner of our
house put them in so they're "fair game"'. Sometimes, previous
owners did the right thing and wonderful garden suprizes might appear.
Regardless, the odd tree or bush was probably carefully planted and
lovingly tended by the previous owners.

Unless, of course, it was a Bradford Pear and then you can hire
someone to come pull it up by the roots.

Cheers
