I have limited numbers of this length. It's the second longest I have and I want to take advantage of each. But the next size down isn't large enough to span the space in second row to the vent. I will have to cut the wood to fit around the vent on the bottom side. Should I use this long piece here or two smaller sizes since one is being cut anyway, not worth "wasting" a longer piece.
Any other tips on layout appreciated.
Thanks
Many of the badge requirements aren't great. Either they create busy work for the girls, miss other more fun potential activities or learning experiences, etc. And honestly, it's just corporate folks doing their best for a one-size-fits-all approach.
I've been much looser with what we follow, feeling that if the girls accomplished the over goal, learned something and enjoyed their time, then the badge was earned.
For context, these are daisies and now brownies. Perhaps I'll change my approach as they progress.
How do you approach this?
I will trim down the azalea and rhod a bit but from the street I like that they are higher up.
Anyhow, deer ate these this year. They had been completely full and dropping down to ground nearly. You can see a few of them that were trapped under snow so the foliage was spared. Anyhow, I thought it looked nice when clfull, completely hiding the wall and effectively filling to the ground. But now I'm thinking maybe I keep these limbed up a bit and plant something beneath / at their drip edge.
What do you think?
