Our yard we're in right now has no deciduous trees in it - really hardly any trees at all. There are lots of evergreen trees just outside our yard, but in our yard, pretty much nothing. My brother who lives an hour from us lives on 17 acres of woods with a wide variety of trees. We were over the yesterday for my nephew's birthday so I had my husband dig up a couple of trees to try to transplant. We took 2 maples and one either birch or poplar (hard to tell the difference when they're young and I haven't looked closely yet). I still need to get them in the ground as I'm waiting for the utilities to mark the yard so I know where I can dig. Anyways, I'm excited to get them in and hopefully get them growing if they survive the transplant.
We also are going to inherit a bunch of raspberries from my husband's sister who lives near her. Whenever we're in town we can get a bunch that they dug up and get them going! My kids will be very excited to have raspberries if we can keep the animals away from them enough to get some! We also have noticed wild strawberry plants growing all over around here - some in our yard and some in the vacant land around here. I'm hoping we can get some of those and the animals don't get all of those!
Now to finish off my garden and get it going!
hello!

How exciting!
An elderly widow-friend of ours talks about the trees her children planted in her yard, etc... and they're enormous, now! One, she said, her son came home from school with. He and her husband planted it... and I couldn't believe how it towered!
You'll have to let me know how the transplanting of the raspberries goes. My mother's has spread over the years... she finally had to take some out of her garden, last year to make room for her vegetables (she had several rows of them near the veggie bed).
Exciting!
