My husband never wanted me to plant
lilac bushes, saying they spread and
are hard to get rid of...but, but...
so when I bought my 'divorce house',
the first thing I planted was a start
from a wild lilac bush. It's taken 10 years,
but it's finally blooming and getting bigger...
spreading...HEH HEH...
Another problem,
the 'wild honeysuckle bush'...
I just found out that they are invasive,
after I planted a row of them.
OK, so now the trade-off...
I want privacy from the 4-lane
and I want it fast, I want a wind break
and a sound barrier
and I want it now...
These are the bushes I planted in my
front yard 3 years ago, they are
over 10 feet tall and as you can see,
they give plenty of privacy...
and they give me fragrant blossoms
and the birds a red berry...
and the girls love to grub bugs
in their shade...
they're staying,
nuff said!
