I live in the Northeast, in an area with a high water table. The bushes around my house are getting old and don't look so great anymore.
I have two quesions.
1) Can I plan new bushes now, or should I wait until the Spring?2) What kind should I plant? I want them to be no taller than 2 or 3 feet tall, and want something that really pulls the water from the ground. I figure that will help cut down on ground saturation around the house. When it rains, the grass gets soaked and takes a few rain-free days to dry out. Any suggestions?
