I talked with our east neighbor this morning. He said that John's crew showed up early last Friday morning. They stayed only about 45 minutes and trimmed the east junipers, replaced some (I believe three, #3, #4 and #7 from north) of the west boxwood and straightened the zelkova. I believe another boxwood still needs to be replaced (#9 from north). Our neighbor told me that he mentioned to the crew that two of the east junipers probably needed to be replaced due to the amount of dead material on them. He said the response he got was that they were only told to trim them. I called John today to find out what to expect next. Of course I only got his voice mail and I left a message. We will see if he responds.
Today feels like fall. After a weekend around 90F, the high today is supposed to be 74F. It is supposed to stay in the 70's throughout the week.
This morning I spread some more Snapshot (germination inhibitor), did some more pleaching on the hornbeams, pulled some weeds, took cuttings of the coleus' along the east fence line (Campfire" and on the south patio pot (Fish Net), harvested some more okra and cut out all the growths coming out of the Canadian Cherry root ball. I still need to apply the third and final coat of sealant to the garage apron aggregate, but decided to do that tomorrow morning. Also still need to apply sealant to the Tiger wood on the west steps and the MIL balcony railings.
