Planting Trees

Kim has been eyeing the peaches on our neighbors tree so we thought we should buy a peach tree and plant in our yard. While we were at the tree store we went a head and picked up an apple tree too! We had the perfect spot in mind for our trees, only one problem. There was a pole in the way. Our house came with a pole. It was used to dry clothes on. We don't think we would ever use it so we took it out and planted our trees.

Kim got really excited one night to start the process. So we bundled up the kids, put them in their strollers and set them up to watch mom and dad dig out the pole.

The cement holding the pole in was a lot deeper than we thought. Plus we have really rocky soil so it took a long time trying to dig and clear out all the rocks. We got about this far at night and called it good for the evening. The next day Kim and Geana finished the job. 

When we had just thought about getting the one peach tree we figured on putting it in the same hole we dig to take out the clothes drying pole. But now that we had two trees to plant we had to change our plans and dig two more holes.

Lizzie had to "look" in the hole and have mommy take her picture because she was "helping."  I dug the hole for the peach tree and Kim dug the hole for the apple tree. We got them planted and all the holes filled in. We have a few bare spots in our yard now, but we will worry about that another time. Here they are. Our new trees!
