Transplanting Trials

Rob, please note that I have finally done what you keep suggesting and planted some buffer shrubbery on the side of the lawn.
I took a picture in case these do not live through the transplant ordeal.

I learned three things from my end of the transplanting ordeal:
1. Trees and shrubs of this size take a really long time to dig out.
2. They are incredibly heavy to lift and move.
3. If you leave a hose full of water out during a night when it freezes, chunks of hose-shaped ice cubes come out.
