I learned a little something about planting trees in April. In keeping with the original intention of Arbor Day, I went to my local greenhouse in search of a fragrant lilac bush and a weeping cherry tree. As I honed in on my final purchase, the woman there was kind enough to let me know that if I bought my bushes and tree this past weekend, I would either be carrying these large plants from porch to yard and covering and uncovering them until the danger of frost had passed. I really appreciated that information! In the meantime over the years as Arbor Day has evolved into Earth Day, save the planting and your money for Memorial Day weekend or there about. There are countless other ways to continue “going green” until we can plant the green! It has been a rather chilly and gray few days as I look out of my shop window and swear I am looking at sleet…but look out for Saturday’s projected high of 83 degrees! That’s what I’m talking about!
