Something needs to be done with the boxwoods. They line our broad front porch that is unusable because of mosquitos. They were planted as part of the original landscape plan for this house in 1962, before that live oak became a lovely towering shade tree. The poor little guys are not thriving.

This lot is 130' wide by 300' deep, pure cotton plantation. Our elevation is 60'. No feature of our landscape is natural. I'm thinking of calling in professional help. Jordana's "plant whore" strategy is not effective here.

I spent my adult life before coming here in apartments. My mother had a pretty yard. It was half this size.
