About trochelwoman
I am 45 years old and married for 26 years. I have two grown children and two wonderful grandsons! After living in the city of Toledo, Oh. for 15 years we moved out to the country in early November 2007. My interests are wide and very varied. I love classical, jazz, swing and metal music. Reading is a constant interest. I love to browse through antique shops and flea markets. Cooking is a huge interest for our family and I love to collect cookbooks! Gardening is a very big deal especially with our new home. I especially love a good herb garden. I have just started learning how to use a telescope with a camera for astrophotography. I have also started getting into bird watching. The rest of my interests are too many to list!

Old Tree Stump
I have a decent sized tree stump measuring 2-1/2'across by 2' high. What type of plant put in the ground against it would grow well, up and on it without completely taking it over with minimal cutting back? Or would it be a good idea to chop out the...
