Speaking of Pappy's camper... Did a little tree trimming. Now that the trees have been in the ground for a few years they're finally big enough to start thinning out. | |

Very cool course! What sort of bushes do you prefer for the "up close" parts of the course?

It's the same mix of evergreen trees throughout. The upright trees are dwarf alberta spruce, blue spruce, white pine, arborvitae, some juniper. Then the bushy ones I have some boxwood, dwarf mugo pine, spruce and juniper junk. Everything is heavily pruned to keep them small. Even though it's a lot of dwarf species they'll still get too big too fast for this scale. | |

Thanks. Looks good and fits well. I'm filling in the landscaping on my hobby house courses and need some backdrops to hide neighboring houses and such.

I was playing in Smiggin's Folly yesterday and I noticed it was very green and full of life. Sad that it's going to be covered in snow soon. |

After about a month of cleaning up leaves the Folly is ready for winter. |

A perfect amount of snow has coated Smiggin's Folly. I took my junk XJ out for a frosty trail ride this morning. |

Looks awesome Rich, I hope to have time one of these years to start something at home on the same level of detail.
