How to plant a tree
It made me
 "Love doing this! "
How I did it: I joined a conservation volunteers group. We go out to various place around the metro area. They provide the plants, spades, planting aides, buckets of water for the plants, hats, sunscreen and anything else you may need there. Any information you want to find out about hte plants is in their library, which is really cool. Lessons & tips: Ask around! Get to know your local council, check out conservation groups and find out about community gardens in your area.

How I did it: Well, I was working alongside the Department of forestry. We drew up a layout, removed trees infested with pine bark beetles, managed a large control burn, then grabbed shovels, seed dibbers, etc and planted around 14 acres worth of trees.Just make sure that, through clearing areas to plant your tree, you don't underestimate the size of the stumps and roots of dead trees. I made that mistake my very first time dealing with tree removal...… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Bonsai is the ancient oriental art of growing miniature trees in a pot. Most of us think of it as Japanese, but its roots are in China. I was living in an apartment, so I couldn't plant a tree in a garden. I therefore decided to plant one in a bonsai pot and keep it in my terrace. I bought a book about bonsai, then went to a nursery and bought a juniper (the procumbens nana variety), the beginner's bonsai. Once I trimmed it and fixed the … Read how I did it…

Memorial, Part 2

The tree has been planted. Without me. I haven’t been feeling very good and spent today (Thursday) in bed. My mom was off of work and decided to plant the tree today because it rained, making the ground softer and easier for digging and it was cooler outside that it has been lately. Unfortunately, that fell on the same day that I was sick in bed. :(
Too bad. I guess I still can’t check this goal off either. I am disappointed because I really wanted to plant the tree to honor my dog. Oh well. I guess I’ll have to plant another tree sometime…
By the way, we ended up getting a flowering crab apple tree like I mentioned in my last entry. We found one that had white flowers which was even more appropriate because my dog had white fur. So every time it blooms (and really, every time I look at it), I will be reminded of my dearly departed friend.

Planting a tree sounds like a good idea to me. I don’t lose anything from it – well, maybe a little time with the digging and the watering and whatever else planting a tree involves but hey, If I was able to spend 16 hours playing video games yesterday then I think I can afford to spend a few minutes a week taking care of a tree! Next step – Buy a little tree plant thing!

Memorial

Until recently, my motivations for listing this goal have been mainly environmental. But on April 30, my dog of almost 16 years passed away, so I now am planning on doing this as a memorial to her. We aren’t completely sure what kind of tree we are going to plant yet but are leaning towards a flowering crab apple (pictured above). A big portion of our backyard is shady and our landscaping friend said that they do very well in semi-shade. They are smallish and flowering and my dog was a little “princess” type (she was a Maltese) so it seems appropriate. She was also crabby :D (in an endearing sort of way) making the name of the tree very appropos. Even better, it drops fruit onto the ground, which would be wonderful for our many backyard birds and wildlife (BTW, do squirrels eat crab apples?). But we still haven’t completely made up our mind yet.
Regardless of what kind of tree we plant, I think it will be a nice way to honor and remember her. She was very special.
