My dogs really bring a lot of joy to the family. The kids love playing with them and it is a lot of fun to watch them play together in the yard. However, letting them out so much has its consequences. We have to scoop the poop regularly to make sure someone doesn’t step in it. That’s not a lot of fun. I also had some flowers ruined last week when the dogs decided to wrestle into them. Those things really can’t be changed, but I think my last problem can. Lately, the dogs have been causing some dog pee lawn burn on the one side of the house where they always seem to pee. I searched the internet and found that there were neutralizing sprays that I could use to make the urine less acidic so that it doesn’t kill the grass. I picked one up and will be trying it out today.

The first thing I would add to my house would be a central system of computers. I would put in LCD touch screens to control everything from lighting to flushing the toilet. Secondly, I would love to erect one of those lovely gazebos in my garden. I’ve neglected my garden over the years and now’s the time to spruce it up with some garden furniture and a well kept flowerbed. Next up, I would build a small workshop above my garage and stock it with a ton of parts. I am a DIY nut so it makes sense to have a good workroom to work from. After that, I would have a carver come in and carve all the wood surfaces in my house -perhaps a theme throughout the house to give it a really good look. Lastly, I would replace the white Sheetrock walls with beautiful aromatic cedar wood – the perfect finish to all these jobs.

How do you go about getting rid of a nasty tree stump in your yard? You can try to dig it out but that will take you a very long time and you may have a sore back for week. Your chiropractor will like you though. You can try to pull it out with a 4 x 4 but that can be extremely hard on the truck and most time does not work. You can rent a small stump grinding machine from the local rental shop but most times they really lack in power and end up being extremely labour intensive to use. Finally, you can go on the internet and search out tree companies or stump grinding companies in your city and have it removed. Usually, this can be done for a very reasonable charge.

If I were to search for a stump removal company in my city I would search Google, Bing or Yahoo like this, stump grinding Edmonton . Searching in this manor would bring up a comprehensive list of local companies offering stump removals services for me to choose from. Some companies have a vast variety of different sizes of stump grinding machines. So access to those tight to reach places in your yard should not be a problem.

After a stump is ground out there usually is a pile of mulch that will remain from the stump removal process. This mulch can be used in your yard as beneficial organic material. I would recommend that if the mulch is not diseased that you dig it into the soil in your flowerbeds and reap the rewards of the free mulch. If the mulch is diseased have the stump grinding or tree company haul it away for you. You can also bag it up and leave it out with the trash for the garbage truck to pick it up.

So there you go, hiring a stump removal company can be a reasonable and beneficial way to remove your unsightly stumps!

Careful planting is necessary for all roses, even the new knockout roses. Good soil, perfect drainage and a constant water supply are all vital. Trim off broken roots and stems and spread the roots out naturally in the planting hole. It is safe to plant roses until mid-March. Pruning of established roses should he delayed another month.

Flowering shrubs of many kinds are available now. Try some of the fine new cydonias with very large flowers and exquisite coloring. They never have to be pruned for they bloom on the old wood. And they, therefore, require plenty of room. Flowering quinces Charming, Coral Beauty, Knaphill Scarlet and Stanford Red are bright and striking. Since they bloom along with the yellow daffodils, the softer colored and white quince are most pleasing. Nivalis is my favorite.

Forsythias are always good. Spring Glory is a delicate primrose yellow, and this year we have a new one – Lynnwood Gold, which has been introduced from Ireland. Forsythias bloom in spring; for summer, try hypericum Hidcote Gold, which flowers liberally.

My Clethra ainifolia or pepperbush, was brought from a nearby swamp, but blooms unfailingly through the long, hot summers. The one offered in the trade is a soft shade of pink with the same clean foliage and freedom of flowering – of its native counterpart. These plants are all worthy of a trial.

Camellias of many kinds, bulbs in the early varieties and a few shrubs, make the garden and house beautiful for us all this first month of spring. Enjoy it thoroughly.
