Planting Day

On Friday afternoon, our UACD bare-root seedlings arrived.  Fifteen for us—five lilacs, five pines, five hackberries—and 30 for the City of Parowan.  By lunch time on Saturday, I had all 45 of them either in the ground or in a pot.  (At The Homestead, we put seven of them immediately into the ground, the rest went into pots.  At the City Nursery, I potted all of them.)  During the afternoon and evening, Valerie worked to put tomatoes in the holes I'd prepared in the garden.  I helped with the Wall-O-Waters.  We finished 24 of them before 9p.  It was a big day—69 seedlings planted or potted.
