After going back and forth as to whether or not we should, we finally pulled up the bushes (see first picture). They were out of control, starting to die, and didn't match, and Seth kept picking the berries off the holly bushes. One of our college students helped us. We tied chains to the plants and his truck and he pulled them out...all 10 bushes! It made our house look completely different...and Seth loved being able to look out his window finally! We bought boxwood bushes and vinca flowers, both work well in morning sun and are good for Texas summers! Seth loved helping...especially with the shovel! It took all day, but the boys finally got it done and we love it!
