It has been a year and a half since my last blog??...I guess I've been busy. the only reason I remembered I HAD a blog, is because a friend recently commented on my previous one...where would I be with out my friends? :)
So, literally, I am a tree hugger; I hug the trees to get them out of their old pot & into their new, roomier pots, with new soil to insulate the roots that have been growing all winter, so the heat of the summer doesn't cook them. Also, the trees really appreciate to leg room....you know....
This year, though, my trees did not get their "new roomier accommodations" . Instead, Deryk found for me, through Craig's list, quite near a literal ton of nursery pots, for free..."must take them all" sort of a deal...& with the help of three sturdy offspring, we loaded them up in about 3 days. It took another week or two to get them packed into large pallet boxes for storage...but we did it. Deryk, that husband of mine...stacked those pallets & "weather proofed" them against approximately one winter of rain & perhaps snow. He's a keeper...
With the nursery pots came several flats of plants the owner of the nursery urged onto me..."look-look-look; see, these will spring right back once they get enough water"....etc...well, they did spring right back, & they are lovely. I am going to pot them up next Saturday at The Market, in my new spot, where I will be crafting my heart out, gardening on a small scale, selling my trees & plants, nearly every Saturday until I die or they drag me away kicking & screaming...(well, I hope not the latter)
*sigh* I'd love to sit here & compose into the twilight hours...but I really should make sure the kids are finishing their homework, eating dinner, getting ready for bed...I really should.
