Trees Are Terrific!

Happy Arbor Day!!


This is our Flowering Dogwood Tree (Cornus Florida) that came with our house when we purchased it. 



Last year it was barely alive and didn't flower.  This year is a different story!! 


Wow!  My gardening talents have not stretched into trees thus yet, but it seems like the mulch we put around the tree (which was really the only thing we did, and we were careful to leave room around the trunk) worked! 

We're crossing our fingers that our tree will continue to grow and prosper.  It's by far not planted in it's ideal location being in full sun and clay soil so it's somewhat of a miracle that it's survived this long.  At least we get to enjoy it's incredible beauty this year!
