Ever Green, My Ass

So you think you can’t kill an evergreen, eh? Well, I’m living proof it’s entirely possible.

Lock me up. Three counts of involuntary tree slaughter.

Here’s victims #2 and #3. Seriously, I’m on my way to having killed three evergreen trees with in the last two years. The first one died of Miracle Grow poisoning. I had no idea.

These two are trying to recover from their winters in Planterville (Yes, I kept them in pots all season long… without watering them… who waters in the snow???).


At any rate, I’ve recently decided to take my two remaining evergreen trees out of their pots and let them have a go of it in the ground.

I feel it’s just good chi. I mean a tree belongs in the ground, right?

I’m pretty sure these guys are knocking on heaven’s door, but stay tuned… ‘cause you neva know!

Face the Corner!

I read somewhere that you’re supposed to rotate your pots every so often so they won’t grow in an uneven pattern toward the sun.

Well, if this isn’t just the saddest chore of the season.


Feels like I’m putting my flowers in Time Out. Supernanny would be proud, ‘cause they stay put!
