Thanks. Oh, she is proud of her lawn in the front yard, I'll tell her, she loves compliments on her lawn! See all those trees? That yard is nearly all shade. She puts grass seed on it about every two years! I bought (with her money) and planted that Dwarf Alberta Spruce in 2004. She has watered it regularly, it has been tremendously successful for a plant mostly in the shade.
Here it is shortly after I planted it in 2004. - This was about 2 days after I planted it in April, 2004. It has grown a lot since then! It was a $20 purchase from Walmart.
That niece has grown alot too, she is in that Easter Egg hunt photo up there, she's the little girl. Here is another photo of the DAS then. -
