June house update, time for some tree's in the backyard. 7 Mountbatten Juniper's are what the wife liked, and we were in and out of the nursery in less than 30 minutes a week ago with an appointment to have them planted this week. Previously, we had some small dogwoods that didn't grow well at all in the area, hoping these more mature evergreens flourish for years to come.
2 young lads came and took care of business, planting the 7 trees in just under 90 minutes. Well worth the extra coin to not be out there myself arguing with the wife. Plus, if they install them the warranty on the tree is much better. 7 tree's 9.5ft apart as they will eventually be 12/15ft tall and 6/8ft wide.
All I had to do was put some flags in the ground where we wanted them to be planted and they took care of the rest. I helped them out by snapping a line with mason's string as well.
Installed
Then I put the Timemaster to work and cleaned the lawn up before firing up the Recteq and making a little Old Fashioned with some Blue Run Rye to ease the pain dropping 2 grand on some trees. Is this what getting old feels like?
