Well, it's not always a neighbor. The backyard gardener show on PBS had a segment recently in a which a straight-line windstorm had upended an enormous 100 year old oak in the middle of summer. He had an entire shade garden under the tree, which was now exposed to the blazing sun of an Oklahoma summer. He was also concerned about transplanting, and ended up making some temporary shades with laths, shade cloth, etc. so that he could carry the plants through until cooler weather in the fall, when he could transplant them with more success. Do you mean "Gardening by the Yard"? It is on HGTV. -- Travis in Shoreline (just North of Seattle) Washington USDA Zone 8 Sunset Zone 5 "Toni" wrote in message ... [whining mode] New neighbors next door- to the west. Their first week in they've cut down a *beautiful* 30 year old Black Olive tree that shaded my entire front garden- full of shade plants. Anthuriums, calatheas, ferns, teeny little gems that I had cherished for years in containers before putting them in the ground. That garden is only one year old- and now I am having to reorganize the whole darn thing. Plants are wilting faster than I can transplant them. And I thought our town had an ordinance against this sort of thing without a permit- guess that explains the city trucks I've seen stopping to take photos of the stump three times now. Would I be evil to hope they get fined? And I know about Black Olive maintenance issues- I have one. But had they bothered to live here a while before killing trees they'd have noticed that *we* always keep their walkways pressure cleaned- husband just can't seem to stop once he gets going. Not feeling too good about my new neighbors right now. [/whining mode] -- Toni South Florida USA Zone 10b http://ww.cearbhaill.com |
