Opportunity Knocks

Yesterday we drove by a nursery that was going out of business to see the price of arborvitae. We have quite a few in our yard and several have died.

They had a great prices on the arbs so we decided to get them. They also had Western Red Cedar trees at an amazing price, and Bill thought that they would be a great screen along the road with the hope to not only provide privacy but maybe muffle a little of the road noise.

So we bought 16 arbs and 7 large Western Red Cedar trees that all had to be planted immediately. It required two trips. The arbs are now "resting" in the garden until we can plant them and the 7 cedar trees have been planted. Let me tell you it is hard work to dig big holes for trees in hard dirt. The trees are in a little rough shape from being out all summer but we are hoping that they will recover and grow happily in their new home.
You can't see much in this picture, but the trees are in their new home.
