The monstrous Hedge is better. Next year, when it fills in, it will be rather good.
The mailbox on the house was cheap, old, didn't close, too deep for most mail, too high up to see into, beat up and I took a rather personal dislike of it. Not entirely rational, it still worked. Replacing it was an unnecessary expense. But. So, after a lot of searching for something practical, and appealing, at a decent price (you'd be amazed how expensive mailboxes can be) we settled on this one.
The old one was put up with two different nails.
This one is up with proper screws into the brick. Easy to see into, it'll hold magazines. It'd hold a cat, though it won't have to.
Well, it'll be there a long while.
The sunflowers are getting munched. I hope they survive.

Well done! Perfect choice!
Crossing my fingers for the sunflowers.
Bugs gotta eat too. I'm spraying the sunflowers with a dilute soap/cayenne/eucalyptus mixture, in hopes of discouraging them. At least the cayenne out front looks fine.
It may be bugs now, it will be squirrels later. Sunflowers are a nice treat.
Nice mailbox; a very colour coordinated choice.
