It's a beautiful sunny morning here & it will be 55 degrees today. Â We might hit 70 over the weekend.
Today I am working for my dad. Â He has 19 white pine trees in 2 gallon containers that I will be planting. Â I decided to only work 2 hours planting them so that I don't mess up my back & hands. Â I am not sure how long it will take to get them all planted, it might take me a couple of days to finish.
All my best to Rose5555, Linville. Fireplaces, Willie, Charon, Ice, Revolution, Harley, Audrey, Zander, Popster, Insomnia Sucks, B2G, KidA & to anyone else I haven't mentioned.
I am hoping everyone has a good day with your pain & anxiety under control.
And now of course, those trees are 40 feet tall, and the shade from them is killing the neighbor's grass in a 4-foot wide strip, so I'm going to have to start paying someone to come out any top them at least once a year - They grow amazingly fast, and sink their roots deep, so I guess they've become a bother now.
Very wise to limit your labors to two hours, you'll thank yourself for it tomorrow!
