Gardening: Planting Two Apple Trees

I just read the other posts....no I would not paint the chandler red...Leave it GOLD...Or ...»
spray it white, then if you change your mind later you can go back to gold or any other color

Red is too dermatic a color to have too much of!
It's a good accent color only.
I have been painting on canvus for years & know this for a fact.
Good luck and have fun!

I've seen enough to know these corners are prone to failure and cannot be remedied. I ...»

works)
If not then we will try silicon caulk, it might work and would be water proof too. What do you think?

Gardening: these things are popping up in the yard next door and now I see a couple in my yard.

What are they and how do I keep them outta my yard ? They look like shoots from maybe a tree that was near here in the past.
