“Red sky in morn- sailors take warn!”  (Not true today)

View at dawn this morning. I thought- "storms-a-coming." But it held off 'till tonight-good. We got loads of work done today. Good productive work. I felt today was the real "weatherwise" first day of spring.

Incredibly cool emerging leaves of red buckeye plant joining us in the nursery hour by hour. DON'T smoke it!

Someone came in to buy plants that would offer privacy today. Because I had a few big ones, it worked out. We got them delivered before dark- Just squeezed in before the rain. Tore up his yard though because the soil is so squishy. Two years from now there will be nice privacy.

Roots, stumps, and boulders meant that we needed to make a berm to offer protection to the root system. It's a tried and true way to plant trees in impossible situations! Trees planted like this NEVER die!

~12' arborvitae will be about 15-16' by the end of the growing season. Add three feet for the height of the root ball when bermed like this.
