Then I found a greeting card. It said "Beauty is its own reason for being". I let go of the angst, the need to control outcomes and I just allowed life to sweep me along. That was 1970. I got a PHD, a strong career as a research scientist and a much younger lover who has for the last 18 years treated me like a national treasure. I had to surrender in order to win.

So many people do it just the opposite, and it causes two problems: the thicker top blocks light -- and therefore stunts growth -- to the lower part of the hedge, and in a snowy climate the snow piles up on the broad top and the weight can cause breakage of branches. As you can tell, this is a pet peeve!Mirandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379841101730637902.post-64091928688871671882012-08-24T06:03:34.760-07:002012-08-24T06:03:34.760-07:00Karyn,

I had to use a ladder and electric clippers. My advice is to keep it low (fence height and have the bottom part thicker than the top) for maintenance. Another fun thing would be to add an arbor or gate combined with a hedge. :)<br /><br />Martha B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379841101730637902.post-28097330037340009092012-08-23T08:52:09.676-07:002012-08-23T08:52:09.676-07:00Maybe so.

I guess I'm thinking about the prospect of having to replace an entire fence and it seems like hedges just wouldn't need that. might just be a bit of wishful thinking. :)Karynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642840871621979262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379841101730637902.post-43087266369245790522012-08-22T16:44:48.188-07:002012-08-22T16:44:48.188-07:00So many things to consider here... hedges are love...So many things to consider here... hedges are lovely but I would think might actually require MORE maintenance (trimming) than would a fence. Cost-wise, it might be a wash, though there are so many different types of fences... hedges... so who knows? It's nice to have options.
