So I’ve been meaning to share this Season 4 privacy hedge for quite a while now.

We started out with a messy, less than appealing buckthorn hedge. The only thing going for it was the privacy it provided. The first year was a very horrible removal project.

Only then could we begin planting . We decided on a variety of evergreen and deciduous shrubs/ trees. We wanted it to look more 'natural' than landscaped. The video was after a year or so of no weeding. The still is when the daisies were in full bloom.

One more year and it should finally fill out into exactly what we set out to replace!

______________________________________________
For generations, people have looked at the stripes of the woolly worm and tried to read the winter ahead.

The old folklore says that more orange means a milder winter, while more black is supposed to signal a harsher one.

It’s a fun autumn tradition, but there’s no reliable scientific evidence that a woolly worm can actually forecast the weather months in advance. Its coloring is influenced by factors such as age, development, and environmental conditions rather than a secret ability to predict winter.

Still, that hasn’t stopped people from checking these little caterpillars every fall.

So if you spot a woolly worm this season, take a look at its stripes and make your prediction.
