When the Ents had reduced a large part of the southern walls to rubbish, and what was left of his people had bolted and deserted him, Saruman fled in a panic. He seems to have been at the gates when we arrived: I expect he came to watch his splendid army march out. When the Ents broke their way in, he left in a hurry. They did not spot him at first. But the night had opened out, and there was a great light of stars, quite enough for Ents to see by, and suddenly Quickbeam gave a cry “The tree-killer, the tree-killer!” Quickbeam is a gentle creature, but he hates Saruman all the more fiercely for that: his people suffered cruelly from orc-axes. He leapt down the path from the inner gate, and he can move like a wind when he is roused. There was a pale figure hurrying away in and out of the shadows of the pillars, and it had nearly reached the stairs to the tower-door. But it was a near thing. Quickbeam was so hot after him, that he was within a step or two of being caught and strangled when he slipped in through the door.

So do I! I hope he does another when most of it is blooming.
The two year mark is special; things start to look truly transformed. You can begin to see how things will fill in, who needs pruners or space. The way it draws wildlife (of all kinds throughout the year) is really cool and calming to watch.

I’m impressed by how much everything grew in just 6 months. It’s gonna be lush after next year’s growth. The following year they will have to trim some things back, I suspect.

No.

CPBBD - Reason #438 to kill your lawn - Turn your yard into a classroom

TONY! Love that man.

Join our goddamned cult. Kill Your Lawn. Create habitat and eradicate the bland. Create a native plant or a vegetable garden in your front yard. Killing your lawn and growing native plants is the best way to learn to identify the plants that USED to grow where you lived before the commercial automobile slum cesspool (trademark) was built. But most importantly, kill the lawn within yourself.

Even the video description is cool.

Oh hey! I thought that looked familiar.
