put in 3 small ones against the side of the house last fall, they seem to have made it through the winter, but guess I'll find out next month :)

growing great- fully bushed out- one is growing a bit higher than the others, and might prune him back later

late fall 2006- was i smoking crack when i said these guys were happy? they haven't been happy for the last 1/2 year anyway, they look a week away from giving up....well, if they don't shape up this summer, they are getting replaced....had no idea i'd already given them over a year?! not a good spot :( for them, obviously, they grow like weeds at my folks

another angle with dog

hell, now grass doesn't even grow here....scilla do though ;) ...and garlic chives
wonder how much of it is the shade, how cold it is with the wind hitting that wall (this is exactly where the pipes freeze) ,and how saturated the area is with dog pee

still scrawny, but not dead yet

the wall now....next project is putting down chips instead of grass- grass and gallons of dog pee do not mix

acceptable, but not ideal, and not very happy- they need more sun
