Hope everyone enjoys their 3 day weekend!

I did mulch again yesterday... edged the beds, mounded the dirt, spread 2 more cubic yards. Mother nature is watering it down as I type, so by day's end, I should be able to go back over it with the last of the pile in the driveway.

Once again Indy's in the spotlight. I just hope the rain stops long enough to get the race in...

Have a great weekend... and remember the reason.

Thank You to all our Military Vets and active members!!!!!!!!!

We had a hell of a t-storm roll through yesterday afternoon, lightening, thunder, pouring down buckets of rain. So much, I had to get Drew and Nick on the roof to clear away what has collected in the drain spouts. Funny thing is , I harped on those 2 all morning and early afternoon to get up there and clean the gutters out, they played around and didn't get to it. Sent their butts up there during the down pour.

My Sister bought me a Japanese Maple 3 years ago, for some odd reason it didnt come back this year bluehoo

We spent 89.00 at Home Depot last week on flowers..I can't believe it!!! and we only have a small garden, 2ft wide by 60 feet long. Good grief, some expensive deer food.. boohoo

I got a 20 yr old boy that thinks it`s play day every day too..........Damn kids these days. pizzedoff

Those Japanese maples are some kick ass trees. Thought about getting a couple of those myself. I don`t think they get to tall which is cool.
next summer when I redo the front yard i`d like to have one on each side of the new entry way to the new deck.........
And yes having trouble with them damn squirrels digging up the bulbs and having lunch. They are digging up only one kind of plant(Liatrises)not sure why only them.
Also thats not the only thing thats been having lunch here..........All my damn Koi have disappeared.3 new ones that a buddy gave me plus the other 8 that were left from last year. pizzedoff

Time to trap that coon and show him who`s boss.............. rambo

Those are some fine pictures thee Magic.. Things are looking good in the Magic Kingdom..


How are those Sequias doing now?

I'd still like to get some, but of course In Indian they will never hit the 300ft mark like they do out west... They say 180-190 ft max in the Midwest.

Yeah, sounds like Coons or possibly feral Cats (whic are becoming a big problem is some areas) I've trapped about 6 already this year (feral cats)
and turned them over to be put down...

Maybe you should send your kids here to help this old landscaper Cravn ......this time of year it looks like a national park but is almost too much work for me sunny

2Shock start planting some giant sequoias man!!!!

Don't listen to anyone but me on this.......they will have no problem growing to be the tallest tree in your county before you are my age cheerstoyou


Not sure if the garden stores in Indy sell all different sizes or what they charge but they are worth every dollar I spent and I wish I started sooner.

My oldest one was planted here 19 years ago next to the foundation 15yrs before I actually built the house.

The second crop of these 5ft trees are all over 40ft tall now too and they have only been here about 10 years.

Then last year I planted 6 more 8ftrs and they will be over 10ft by fall.

This spring I planted 6 more 4ftrs that were on sale ($50 each)

They are going to be about 6ft by fall since it is the first year after moving here (they were starters grown in Oregon and shipped here to a garden store near me)


I did buy lil seedlings one season but they take too long to get going.

But the thing I am doing now is taking cuttings off the bigger trees I have and figuring out which way works the best and I have 10 of those growing and they are already 3ft tall the first season.


Of course I took another 50 pictures to save king

(I have a clip of video I took of my 1st one back in 1988 with the wife next to it when she was taller than it and could reach around it.......here it is today.
