So I can understand how you felt out there. So kudos to you on getting that stump out and planting a nice replacement!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-76354964203613338702013-11-14T19:59:31.346-08:002013-11-14T19:59:31.346-08:00Woo hoo!

And I certainly relate to the "digging out the root" process. A few years back I went throught that under the watchful eyes of the neighbors as I dug and struggled to remove a ratty, much hated pyracantha shrub out front all by myself. Sometimes determination and persistence does pay off!
