Would you believe I am beginning to feel like I have caught up with the gardening?  It has been a busy season with creating a couple new flower gardens.  I am now at the point where I just have to keep things weeded, watered and fertilized while everything grows.

My mom wanted to give me my birthday present early.  I thought, why not?  She had spotted a shrub that looked interesting and would work in my back garden.

My early birthday present this month!

 Mountain Fire Pieris

 I removed the ‘Rose Of Sharon to be planted elsewhere and Logan began to dig the hole for the new shrub named ‘Mountain Fire Pieris’.

 Digging the hole wider and deeper.

Logan says it should be about the right size now.

Yes he got it the right size and now to take the shrub out of its container and into the ground.

I believe it is going to be happy in this location!

I would like to thank Logan Foster my great nephew who is 5 years old for helping.  We went to church in the morning and the park after.  We had just enough time to plant the shrub before my niece Kari Foster came to pick up Logan and go to the lake.  It was a fun day!

Has anyone planted this shrub?  I would love to know.  Thank you.
