New Dogwood and Viburnum

Yesterday was the first really nice day this whole spring.  70s, sunny and pleasant all day, not just for a part of it.  But the power washers were here, kind of trapping us indoors all day as they worked on ladders around the whole house.

After they were gone, in the evening after dinner, it was cool and nice and I planted the 15 gal. Dawn viburnum.  Thought it would be so hard, but it wasn't.  A little awkward, but manageable all on my own.   It's way too close to the house, but does stay very vertical and narrow I have read.

Then today was back to dreary and overcast.  It got really humid and up in the 80s. 

I decided not to replace the little beheaded cornus mas by the driveway. 

It has leafed out, it is shorter, but it's full and not terribly deformed looking after all, and I don't want to move it.  It will grow. 

So I put the expensive big new one out at the far corner of the yard by the birches, where Jim has wanted an anchor plant to "finish" the view.
