With the pergola now finished we have turned our attention to the re-planting of conifers that had been removed (see website).  I spent quite some time digging a large hole to plant the newly purchase Thuja occidentalis 'Yellow Ribbon'.  It is already a good size plant and will immediately make an impression. This is always the problem when you take something away like that the space it leaves a large hole which takes some filling.  I suppose to others it does not look strange but when you are use to seeing something day after day it looks very strange when it is gone.
