Has anyone added a gas fireplace insert? I’m wondering if it does much in terms of actually providing heat. And if you’ve had one installed and you like it, I’d be glad for recommendations! Thank you Sent from my iPhone

Free Holly bushes
by Just Me 04 Sep '21

04 Sep '21

About 3 years ago I purchased 3 holly bushes that were both male and female on the same bush so they all get berries. Then I got a dog. Found out that holly berries and dogs are not good friends and my pup tends to eat everything he can. So - I am giving the holly bushes away. They are about 3.5 feet tall now and should grow to 5 to 8 feet tall and 5 feet wide. Right now they are in a shaded area and doing ok but I suspect they will do better in a spot with more sunshine. If you are interested it’s a dig and carry proposition. Would like to get them out as soon as possible because the berries are growing and my pup is curious. Let me know if you have any questions.
