I recently found a nice garden center that I loved shopping in. When I recently went back to check and see if they still had some Oak trees for sale I discovered the entire store was going out of business.
After a quick consult with my friend and husband I went back to purchase a hand-full of nifty trees.
Though they didn't have any Red Oaks they had two Live Oaks and a Magnolia tree which I purchased. While I was there I also picked up two Cypress type trees called Caroline Saphire and an Allspice bush. As soon as I came home I had the gardening bug. So "real quick" I dug a bunch of holes about 4 inches deep and placed every tree so they wouldn't blow over.
It has been wonderful to see these trees surrounding the house when I pull up our driveway or when I leave each day. My holes apparently are not deep enough to protect the Cypress trees from the wind. I will have to secure them in the ground fairly soon.
LAst night we had a great time at our neighbors house watching the Super Bowl. We headed home around nine and after quieting Piper/Bo Bo (more on Piper later) we crossed through our neighbors yards. As we approached our house I was very excited to see that with the help of a street light one of our Live Oaks was casting a shadow on our house.
I can't wait to finish getting these treasures into the ground.
