Accessorizing the Forest




The last two weeks have been unseasonably mild, which allowed us to get bulbs and trees in the ground.

500 more daffodils (joining last year's 500) through the forest, interspersed among 100 dogwoods. Plus, 100 river birches lining the road and driveway. In a few years, our entrance should look something like these.

The bulbs were purchased commercially, but the trees came from the North Carolina Forestry Service, a real bargain.

  1. We thought we were done, but the Forestry Service called to say they had 100 redbuds ready for us to pick up. Not sure if we ordered them, but they're ours to plant. Ugh.
