About a year ago, we planted purple flowering plants under one of our blue spruce trees in order to add some color to our back yard. Those plants, however, have become quite shabby as the acid content from the falling needles has corroded the fragile leaves. With summer now under way, I felt it was time to remove these dying plants and replace them with a healthier, more durable hedge.
So, I drove to the Flowerland Nursery this morning, created and then immediately spent a $40 hedge fund, then returned home with two different kinds of hedge plants: Boxwood Green Beauty and Euonymus Emerald 'n Gold.
Next year we should have a low-to-the-ground but thick and healthy hedge separating our patio from the blue spruce.
