Moving neighbor made a trade with me. I am going to help by digging up 3 large shrub roses she is fond of, not sure if she will have me do this soon or (better for the roses) wait for cooler weather, a lot depends on the disposition of her house, plus I am going to give her three large fabric pots for the roses.

She is giving me two recliners, I'm going to refurbish them, pad the arms and slipcover them. Of course I would have been glad to help her even without a trade, but I am delighted with her gift to me. She could not take them to her future smaller digs, but even with my tiny house I'm happy to have them.

Having plant experience, and a willingness to help others is a win situation for everyone. She has cherished these roses and I'm happy she will have them with her when she moves.
