It is the story about a man who planted trees.<br /><br />Earlier this spring I gathered aver three dozen seeds from our Japanese Maple and planted them in our converted troth. I already gave away three or five and lost maybe two, but the rest are growing nicely among the Chinese elm and California Buckeye that I all started from seeds this year.<br /><br />The California Buckeye Chestnut's of which some have grown as tall as a 2 liter soda bottle will be transplanted next month into single containers so that by the time next year, they can go into the ground.<br /><br />Earlier this summer I planted three heirloom apple trees and I look forward to watching them grow up.<br /><br />Wishing you a wonderful weekend<br />Egmont<br /><br /><br />PS: I should have done this sooner, but once posted, I am going to add you to myself as a follower, it is long over due -eFour Seasons in a Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515078635782464939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053562711351336005.post-2237135713634845412009-10-17T18:06:44.735+10:302009-10-17T18:06:44.735+10:30Yesterday was probably the climate day.

In workshops I see that people are not aware off wath is comming. They want to keep there way of living like it is in the easy way, without thinking about what it brings.

I am feeling so guilty about the recent decimation of trees (albeit, sick ones) by the local Parks Department that I decided to grow my own and then transplant them when they are ready. Of course, I will need to develop strategies to ward off the legions of deer!Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238803337590070942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053562711351336005.post-84073319616438383042009-10-17T02:19:36.313+10:302009-10-17T02:19:36.313+10:30I love trees too.

We use the wind fall trees for firewood. What fascinates me is solar power. Living in the mists here, we don't have solar but if I lived in a sunny place I would try it.Leslie Avon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235003342775117469noreply@blogger.com
