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!! |
