 Another sugar maple, and a red maple added to the back property line |
 Racing to get the maples in before the sun goes down...... |
 And wouldn't you know the handle of the shovel cracks and has to be duct-taped! |
 The maples are from the Ijams Park annual native plants sale. |
 Pickaxes are better than shovels any day! |
 The Ijams sugar maple didn't survive the winter of Jan/Feb 2009. Resquiecat in pace, little sugar maple. |
 ... and the red maple! |
 Yep, it's a red maple for sure! 10-26-2008 |

 The quince are doing GREAT! 09-20-2008 |
 Baby quince are popping up all over! 09-20-2008 |
 We gave the quince plenty of room to grow |
 Here's how we keep the maples & daylilies alive. |
 A 250-gallon stock tank, a water pump, and the Holston River! |
 The river is the lowest we've ever seen it. |

 Red Maple from Newport, got two for nest to nothing because of some damage to the trunk |
 If they just make it through the winter, they should be OK! |
 The second of the Newport Red Maples: this one is at the Northwest Corner |
 Hang in there, Red Maples!! |
