Hello everyone....

Yes...It is me. The poster who never returned to check for the answers...as one of you mentioned, the e-mail notification was on, but I swear that I was NEVER notified of any of these post. I will check to ensure that the proper e-mail is registered.

I am not gonna sit here and type excuses as to why I never returned... However, if the notification was working, I assure you that I would have checked. FOR SURE.

Thanks to Dimension and Shea for their initial help, and to the others as well....

To answer a couple of the questions posed (if you are still wondering)...Not many forest-like animals in Oshawa... We may get the odd racoon or skunk. But no deer.

As for the soil type...primarily clay where I am.

i have noticed as of late...since the weather has been warming up...the colour on the fir and cedars seems to be darkening. I WILL keep you posted as to how they make out.

My wife and I (along with our new born daughter) have moved into a subdivion with an unusually large backyard and I am trying to plant as many trees as I can, so that in 10 years, I have created a mini-forest and a privacy screen from surrounding homes. I will take a pic or two and post....as I plan on adding 4 or 5 new trees this spring. Unfortunately we will not have a backyard view like some of the ones I have seen posted on this thread.

Again...I am sorry for my tardy reply....
