Good gravy girl -— I would never dream of suggesting cutting down trees...........silly!!!
I don’t do flowers, just have never had an interest in them. probably because there was so much emphasis placed on the perfect african violets and such by my mother and grandparents.
I’m sure you can find some room in your sunny spot for another pot for a mater plant with some herbs around her!!!!
Had a big row here recently. This huge live oak—probably 400 years old or better was whacked to make room for another gas station. Like we need another gas station, and they put this one up right beside an abandoned one. Shaking head. Everybody was real upset. Course I can see the landowner’s POV. He told some of the crowd that if they’d give him as much money for the tree as he was getting for the lot, he’d be glad to leave it. Sigh.
OTOH, it took them all day to get it down and they tore up some of their equipment doing it. Not much consolation, but it eased the sting some.
Not that I’m a treehugger or anyhting, but... I do love big old trees and I hate parking lots.
