Do You Remember This Oleander Hedge

- - -  And How it met it's demise?  See Oleander Hedge .

Eventually, the hedge was cut down to the ground .  The growth that was starting to grow was looking quite unsightly with lots of bare branches .  

So I decided to have all of them cut down to the ground on both sides of the gate .  

If they didn't grow I would deal with it - - - perhaps consider an attractive fence of some sort ???

But much to my surprise and delight , WOW , look at them now ! Every single plant is growing nicely and looking strong and healthy .

It amazes me how healthy they are .  I had a little issue with the one side getting aphids .  But, I think they did not like the water I was giving them .  So , I stopped all watering of all of them .  And, with a little organic spray the aphids no longer are a problem .

It will be nice to get a privacy hedge again .  They are growing fast.  A couple of them have even started to bloom .  I took this photo today and you can see some of the newly painted garage .  It should be completed in a few days .  I am anxiously awaiting to see the blue shutters !

And - - - yes, yes, yes , the CORRECT tree across the street was cut down ! There will be a lot of wood for people who still use a wood burning fireplace .

The weather this weekend has been lovely .  There is no question about it , FALL is definitely visiting.  Hope you enjoy your weekend .
