Any bush planted here is gonna grow much bigger than it was last year and fast growing is happening RIGHT now. I can't believe how ours have grown just in the past WEEK.
That why you don't plant bushes that reach height that blocks vision at intersections. You plant them 100 yards down the road so they don't block vision.


Nothing wrong with annuals at villages entry ways, road leading into villages street, or around the squares. But, why in the middle of the road? I'm not totally against it, maybe in few spots at major entries into villages? Which is very dangerous for the workers several times season no matter how may cones are out. Besides who gawking at them driving down the road? Just don't make sense to me? There will be day when cost will out trump pretty? New Contract has already gone up 300% what I read in my district and it plants the cheap ones
