Tell me about it.
We've been in our new home less than 16 months. Put in over 100 feet of fence, a couple hundred feet of water line, cut down 4 large mulberry trees, a pine tree, ripped out at least 25 bushes and shrubs and planted...so far...17 fig trees. The neighbors think I'm crazy, but that's ok.
Most of our trees have done pretty well here their first year and are now well established. As for next year...I can hardly wait.
