Emerald Green Cedars

Wow, what a ton of work to get a fence done and a row of cedars. It has actually been non stop for me since removing all my trees, just trying to get my yard back in shape has been a real challenge and the mud makes it all that much harder.

So the neighbors line is now done, I can move on to the other fence and finish clearing the yard and leveling it. Today I purchased and installed 10 Emerald Green Cedars from a farm that I goto once in the while called "Never Say Die Nursery". In fact I purchased 100 Western Red Cedars from them for my old property. Fe was so nice to me today, she gave my a dozen free range eggs, jam for my boys and a jar of her delicious pickles. I still need more trees for my other fence line, probably about 40 Excelsa Cedars and maybe a few more Emeralds, you can guess where I will be purchasing from.

Today finally stopped raining as I was planting my new cedars, I dug a light trench and then a small pit for each root ball as I went along. The whole area was kind of dug out as I had removed two tree stumps from that area so I really needed some fill. I went to Meadows Landscape and filled my trailer three times with free used dirt. This is the dirt that they take from people that do not want it, it is free and perfect for what I need. Half of the dirt I got today was from grow-ops, really nice dirt, even had some plants in there too. So three yards later I had all the balls packed nicely with fresh dirt and strings on both sides of the Emeralds in case it gets windy, which it will.

This is what it looked like last week.
