They don't look like much at first, but we swear by their awesome-ness. We also swear by the awesome-ness of our gas mower. Arctic willow bushes are really pretty and grow quickly.

Looks like you are going great guns though...can't wait to see the pics of the finished product! Emily – what you really needed was a team of my archaeology students.
