Their security is very good so can only be installed on a single computer. If you'd like to meet up some time, I'd be happy to let you give it a go.

darn !

*If* I get someone to help me dig (which: not so awfully likely) and IF Deirdre has room, I may be able to bring some lilacs and Carolina Alspice to Chehalis, but in general, if anyone wants what I can give, that means they need to come and dig. I do have shovels, spading forks, and pots if you don't want to deal with bare root plants, but I am outnumbered by garden these days.

Are you talking about lilacs? When we moved here 15 years ago, I had to bring a lilac from the prior home with me. Just loved the thing. I brought 25 cuttings - soaked them in water until they rooted, then planted them outdoors. Thankfully, 1 survived. It is now a huge tree that I absolutely love. A lot of lilacs send up a bunch of stems that make them bushy - this one doesn't. It's a beautiful tree with a thick trunk.

Got pics ??? I'd love to see it & any suckers or rootings you may have !

this was directed at ItsRen--- I would take either of your trees, and I think now is actually a good time to move plants in this area? I have a tree called a golden *chain* tree, I wonder if it's the same thing? It is covered in yellow strings of flowers for a few weeks in summer, the bees love it.

Uhm yes.

Oh Crap no !!! I hope you are OK !!!

Explain this Carolina Allspice...it is a bush, a small tree, does it have spice/seeds ?

So pettec63 & DH got here really late...about 8:30...it was pitch black dark & monsooning rain (of course) but we got DH backed in with the trailer, dropped it in our yard and off to Seattle they went.
Today Einstein & I have to unload the pick up truck off the trailer.
Then after pettec's doctor visit in Seattle, they will swing back by here to get the trailer, a mess of cool stuff for CR, plants for CR, and a turkle.
Hopefully turkle will fit in pettec's dog crate....
If he does not fit I am not sure if there is another way to get turkle east....so I may bring turkle to Chehalis to sell....
He is a Walker Midget Black-Winged Bronze.
And he needs other turkles to be with.

And for some reason I am just exhausted..............................very, very, very tired..............................

I'm guessing it's the wrong time of year to transplant trees, right? I have an unwanted Golden Rain Tree (I might actually have 2) and an unwanted Red bud in my "tree nursery". I grew them from starts. They are 3 years old. I'd hate to dig them up and have them die, though.

Now is a perfect time to transplant trees (and shrubs). Just make sure that they get ample water in their new home.

Is this the "golden chain tree" that you are talking about?

Laburnum anagyroides Medik. is the scientific name. It is a non-native species.
