His dad did another no-no by building a planter around the trunk after a number of years. It really was too small a space for the tree, and it would have caused damage to the house if we hadn't had it cut down. A number of people referred to silver maples as trash trees, or something like that. While I miss it, it's a relief that we will not have any problems related to it, and I have that nice planting area.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-69116920342577279032012-01-31T19:53:43.809-06:002012-01-31T19:53:43.809-06:00Thanks, Catherine, I am looking forward to spendin...Thanks, Catherine, I am looking forward to spending time out there this spring and summer.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-3814084255193132882012-01-31T19:50:38.688-06:002012-01-31T19:50:38.688-06:00Robin, I knew something had happened to your blog,...Robin, I knew something had happened to your blog, but don't know if I knew what it was.

I once had a client that had a small property filled with nothing but huge Silver Maples and my advice to her was not to do anything until most of them were removed.

I know you miss your big tree, but you have to work with what you've got! I lost my blog when someone hacked into my google account and tried to buy something from google checkout. I have no credit card there, so it didn't work, but they closed down my account suspecting fraud. I tried to recover it, but was unsuccessful. It happened at Christmas, and I was so busy that they said it took me too long to recover and they just deleted it. I'm heartbroken, but finally just gave up trying.RobinLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543576456983999997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-68203257803399179122012-01-29T21:28:01.429-06:002012-01-29T21:28:01.429-06:00Thanks, Jennifer, I'm assuming your blog title...Thanks, Jennifer, I'm assuming your blog title has something to do with the state you live in.

I noticed someone had mentioned it, then came to see if my comments were embedded, and figured they must be, because the feature was there. If you can't figure it out, maybe we can get together with our computers and do some blogging together some evening.<br /><br />I do have a suggestion for people who do these replies. The name of the person leaving the comment should be used, because when you subscribe to follow up comments, you don't see the original comment, and don't know if it's you who is being replied to. If people do not subscribe to follow up comments, they do not get the reply.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-53419441187142585322012-01-25T20:27:38.750-06:002012-01-25T20:27:38.750-06:00Thanks, Donna.

It's so nice that the street workers that did your curb work were so accommodating - when we got new curbs about 10 years ago, they filled back in with who knows what. It is such a weed patch now - we are hiring a lawn company this year and hope they can get it back into grass again. Regarding planting where your old tree was - we took out a Japanese Yew next to the porch many years ago, and I cannot get anything to grow where it was, nor will the grass grow 5 feet out from where the base was. So, with a little help from Earl May, I will be changing things up in front this year.<br /><br />You'll have to teach me how to reply to posts.

LOL Speaking of wishing you'd have taken more photos, when I got this computer, Larry somehow lost my whole iphoto library while transferring things to it from the other computer. Every once in awhile, I think about that, and wish I had them. We moved here almost 13 years ago. My current iphoto library dates back to 2007 or 2008.<br /><br />Yes, our husbands both have to have a say in what happens to their lawns. I was shocked when Larry told me to go ahead and plant the whole front area where the tree had been. I wasn't even asking for all of that, but when we were trying to figure out where to dig, and he said to just do the whole area, I went for it. I don't remember if I had mentioned that I even learned how to use the tiller and did a lot of it myself. Once I have an area tilled, the rest of the work is done by hand, but I like having it for that use. Larry did end up helping with the areas where the tree roots were. He helps a little in other areas, too. He helped me put chicken wire around the vegetable garden last spring so that the rabbits can't get in there now.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-26923038927838711752012-01-23T21:05:28.848-06:002012-01-23T21:05:28.848-06:00Thanks, Rohrerbot,

We were told you can't plant one closer than, I think it was 5 feet from the stump of the original tree. It has to be a certain number of feet away from where a sidewalk would go, so I think we are going to keep a sitting area, surrounded by as many native plants of different heights, as well as others that will attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. I was very pleased to see hummingbirds a number of times this year. In the past, there was only one once in awhile.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.com
