My naughty computer lost the beginnings of my post so i will try again. Does anyone know what this is? And yes, I know it is a mushroom.
We have several ornamental pear trees(we think) on the property. Two of them are in the new garden area so my daughter has been wanting to move them out front. Her hubby commmutes to work so he has not had much time lately to do this. So she decided with the help of the boys she would go ahead and move one. We were still having some great weather to get it done too.
The boys helped her dig a hug hole to get a large root section to move with the tree.
While she was finishing up in the back she had sent them out front where the tree was going to start digging a hole there. This was only the beginning here. It had to be much deeper.
Then they used the polycart hitched up to the lawnmower which we use like a tractor around here. No expensive John Deere for us, no, no way. It's a Husqueeeeeeeea something but I would like to have the sewing machine version of this little baby.
Once in the ground we had to move all the dirt back into the hole in front on the tree roots and the hole in back, water it, and tamp it down. Even Princess C was helping that day. Oh, and the dog too.
After doing this one my daughter decided the other one could just stay where it was until hubby had time to help out maybe in the spring. She had a good soak in the jacuzzi tub that night. The boys also needed baths that day after climbing in the hole over and over again and digging with their hands. They said it was easier than the shovel. Here are the Illinois grandchildren on a field trip one day - ages 10, almost 7, 4, almost 3, and 5 1/2 months.
Blessings. |
