Trees! I Think It's Arbor Day!

Okay, maybe just May Day!

Yesterday we transplanted about 10 spruce trees! We spread them out in the forest that's been cleaned out of dead willows & stuff!

Took down the natural (DEAD!) windbreak! Haha, so had to put something back, and Ray had some trees that were too close together getting cosy, so we moved them.

Then we planted the Laurel Leaf Willow. Real name (I found out on the internet) is Bay Willow.

It's staked and tied up with some panty hose I wore to one of Grandma Berthas' parties.

And my brother said, "Where'd you get that panty hose? From Vulcan?"

So today when I got home from work, and after I had watched GLEE! (I know, but I like it!)

We planted the Russian Olive.

It IS TOO alive!

I did read that they may winter kill in northern Alberta, but didn't tell Ray that!

Then we planted the Blueberry Bushes, and the Black Currant!

So everything expensive I spent my allowence on is in the ground!

Today I took my peeps to another Greenhouse! Dunvegan Gardens!

As we're walking down the vegie isle, one of the residents says, "Did you get some corn?"

Me, "I can't grow corn! Can I?"

Resident, "You can if it's an early variety."

So I now have corn!

We'll try it!

I'm going to put it in with the potatoes. It should be high enough by the time the potatoes start growing for it not to be bothered by them!

Better go. Another busy day tomorrow.

Ta ta for now!
