while mowing the lawn yesterday (finally) I found out why I wait so long..the trees get a chance to take root..I didn't plant any, but I found 5 baby trees in my backyard..and a few up front...
Now where they come from I don't know, but they are there, and they are growing..and green, which is more than I can say for half my lawn!
I couldn't let the ones upfront grow they were too close to existing trees, but I did let two of the ones out back (pulled up one that was way to close to the other..figured no need to get competing trees, and trust me nothing lives when I transplant it!)..I especially like them cause they are on the 'hill' a steep incline in the back, I hate mowing it! (actually I don't mow it..it is partly weeds and one path to scramble down..whcih is actually trampled weeds)Trees mean I don't have to!
Well it would mean that if they grew.. I pulled up all the weeds aroung the roots, and left them as err 'mulch' which it really isn't but it is all I have..next time I make pasta I will dump the water there if I remember..so far it worked with one scruffy pine..well two actually one half way down the hill and one close by.
The only trouble is I have no idea what kind of trees they are..(two different ones)

A unit on trees......... Mystery trees at that.
Look at any trees that are near your place, they might give you a hint...the seeds could have blown over and taken root. Or, they could have come from miles away, brought by birds.
I wish I had little trees coming up here, so far, just weedlike ferns and wild sticker bushes of some sort; not even the kind with berries!!
