not dead, yet

I didn’t kill any of the trees.

Since the cedar made it though last winter OK, I wasn’t surprised that it survived this one.  It was mild and rained a lot.  However, I didn’t protect the maple in its little pot and it lived, in spite of me.  And I had a hard time remembering to water the juniper.  It would rain for several days and I didn’t have to do anything.  Then, it would dry out for a couple of day and I would be terrified that I had left it alone too long in the mulch and that it was dead.

But, I was wrong!

So, I’m pleased with myself and feeling like it is time to shop. I need wire cutters, wire, more potting medium and, maybe, a pot for the cedar this August.
