Four more Cedars!

Another gardening weekend. Not as nice as last Saturday, but we decided to plant 4 more cedars on the other side of the yard where we are right next to the neighbour's deck.

Our house sits higher than the neighbours' but their 2nd floor deck is the same level as our back yard. Do you know what I mean? Anyway, for a little privacy, we decided to plant just 4 trees (didn't want to cover it entirely and be unfriendly...). See the yellow arrows in the picture below.
We also straightened our Tamarack tree. Due to the strong winds during all the storms we had recently, we noticed the tree was leaning back. We tied a rope around the tree and nailed some tent pegs into the ground to keep it straight. Not sure what else to do. Hope it will grow back straight up!

Update for the wine lovers. Our grape vines have roots now! Yay! They will be transferred to a pot and will be kept in the warm house until Spring finally comes.

★We decided to post today's blog early to participate the Earth House from 8:30pm. Hope you are all turning off the lights in the house to save energy!★

    Iit's nice for us to see your pictures. Seems like a good idea to plant those trees for a little privacy. The neighbours probably appreciate it too.
    We turned everything off at 8:30 and when we turned back on at 9:30 there was your blog.

    Blessings upon Mother Earth!
