Clearing Buckthorn to Plant Oak


After 20+ years of chronic pain and a decade of environmental sensitivities, it is amazing to be back to outdoor work projects!


This oak was sprouting in our friends' flowerbed back in May. It grew in in our kitchen window all summer and finally found a new home in the edge of our woods.
But first, there was lots of buckthorn to clear.


Then a hole to be dug and filled with compost by our professional shovel-man!


Now, water, and wait to see if this little sprout does as well as the first oak tree planted on our place just a few years ago...
