Some "Spring" Planting...


Last year, my husband noticed a bunch of baby pine trees underneath one of the pine trees. He dug one up and put it in a pot. It was getting kind of big for the pot it was in, so I got some potting soil and re-potted it in some of the pots the landlord had left behind, here... 

When I was watering the apple tree, I noticed a little green thing. I looked closer, and it was a baby pine tree. Underneath the apple tree. :P  I think probably because of the pine cones that *someone* put under there..  

I dug it up. Look how teeny it is.

And I potted that one, too..   There are still about seven little baby pine trees under that one tree. I don't feel like digging them up, and potting them all right now. It would be enough to make a row along the property edge. But, it would take years for them to get big...

This is a lily that opened up after all the other flowers my husband got me had pretty much died..  I LOVE this flower. I used to have some lilies a long time ago. Well I started looking up lilies online and found a site that showed how you can grow a lily plant from a cutting. I don't know if it will work, but I tried it...  It's out there with my baby trees, in the shade.

My husband did some landscaping in our front yard.  We got three plants, and a lime tree.  We have had some rocks in the back yard that still had not been spread out since who even knows how long (since they built this house).  So he took some of them, and put them in there. 

:)  We got a dragon tree (the one he's watering)-I think we are going to have to move that!!, two lilies (lily of the nile), and a lime tree. Not much, but it's a start. And it looks so much better than before, in my opinion. (It was just all dirt in there, before..)

A Scorpion Spider was in the dirt. :0  (My husband stuck his hand in there.)  It's up to the right of the big rock..

Here it is all done. We also got some red rocks to put in the middle.   I have since then, bought two red yucca plants. I don't know where we will plant them. They are supposed to get pretty big.

Your home looks gorgeous . . I like the red rocks . . looks like a dry river bed running through the garden.

Thanks, Paula. That's what my husband wanted it to look like. :) I also got two new (red) yucca plants. Need to figure out where to put them...
