Thank you all! Still very busy and hot here. Soon the outside will be looking good and finished. I lucked out and got a Contorted Filbert on sale, no way is my ex going to send me any of my babies the way he is screwing me over. I think it will got front and center and I will search for some equally bizarre shrubs to flank it. Maybe I will find a black ninebark to go with the black hollyhock, iris and tulips I am putting out front. The hollyhocks are started (seed) but a pain to work around when working on the porch, the trim is done, just gutter to be careful with now. But I want those black hollyhocks next year! I think I will put white lattice in front of the porch, I have to do that soon or wait until the hollyhocks go dormant.
