    The Freedom Hedge Rose bushes are putting out new growth and blooming way more than they were able to do last spring.

    I bought 6 of them from Spring Hill Nursery about 5 years ago, just went to their website and the rose is no longer available.

    The Hackberry tree in the corner has grown so much since then that 3 of them are in too much shade to grow properly. They will be moved to Lisa's (my oldest daughter) backyard this fall.

    Oh, and in doing a google search to see if they were available elsewhere, I clicked on #4 of 995,000 results from the search.....it was my Forum Topic here on Gardenstew. :eek:

    Yea, it is freaky. Really a shocker when I realized it was mine.

    Also, when you do a google search for "chocolate crockpot cakes" Number 7 (of 1,440,000 results) is the Triple Chocolate Mess cake I posted in the Recipes and Cooking forum.
