Since I have some down time, I thought I'd get some more updates out. So my husband's idea of vacationing is digging holes! Well not totally, but that was one of the first things we did when we got to our house on the Eastern Shore. We wanted to make a breaker between our place and our neighbor. He got some cypress and another tree on clearance and thought these would work great. He also wanted something that would stay green all year, so these should do the trick! I must say he did all the digging. I helped take up the grass so we could mulch around this area as well. It took 2 days to plant all 11 trees! Again, I was exhausted and needed, this time a day to rest! Guess I'm getting in better shape!
Fortunately we got to do all this in the shade! I had to spray myself with bug spray every so often because the mosquitoes are really BAD! Sorry the picture looks so dark but there are our little trees! They're suppose to be fast growing so we will see! I'm out watering them every morning now!
In the above picture is a holly bush we tried to transplant. John was digging it up and came across a huge root so he tried to pull it out with the truck. We got some roots. Hopefully this is hardy enough it will make it! I'm also giving it a BIG drink everyday.
