I dug up the biggest plant ever for me, a 12 year old Dwarf Alberta Spruce. I got it in 2004 as a Living Christmas Tree and it was about 10 to 15 inches tall then. I'm not sure if it'll be successful, but it's green today. I did it yesterday, so all green today has to be a good sign. I almost gave up after going on about 2 of hours digging it, but I gave it another attempt and finally got it. One that size has to be worth around a hundred dollars. Not that I'm selling it but what a wonderful addition it'll be to my sister's house.

Yeah, Forsythia has to be one of the easiest cuttings to take, I have one in water now. What I wanna do now is get some 'Munstead' Lavender cuttings from my former abode, to root here.

Those red berries sure look tasty! I'd love to have some Betty, my friend acquired my Nanking bush.

Haha! Lavengrrrr! Maybe Lavenditch!

Btw, my sister has found homes for 4 of the 6 kittens. She might take the rest to Walmart and try to give them away today I hear.
