Yesterday, I shared a photo of our eight Frans Fontaine European Hornbeam 2.5" caliper trees that had been delivered . These trees were a long-time coming and we've been planning, talking and thinking about them for almost a year. Today, the trees went in! Here's the guys digging the holes and placing the trees in the holes to check for placement and spacing. We ended up going with six feet of spread between each one and 30" away from the fence. You can tell from the photo above that they are going into a low spot and that our neighbor's to the north truck and garage are pretty visible (right now) from the top of our property. Here's three of the eight placed in their holes. Once we were all happy with the placement, the burlap and rope were removed (well...the bottom of the burlap was left on because our landscaper prefers to keep the rootball intact, but the top of the burlap was cut off and all the rope was removed) and these trees were stuck ba
Yeah, they reaaally deserved that one.
ReplyDeleteTie with Michigan... lost to Michigan... yet they are playing in the Rose Bowl instead of Michigan.
Stupid BCS.
BCS ShmeeCS. No one gets a fair shake any more, plus I'm as tired of watching Michigan lose in Pasadena as you are. It's the "middle tier's" turn to make the trip once or twice a decade, and I for one am happy the Fighting Zookers get a shot. They're a team that played wire to wire this year and soundly smashed low expectations; in 2007, that's a pretty damned deserving achievement!
