The Joy of a Garden

How I love seeing things grow.

PhotobucketHere are the holes dug last Christmas for my new paw paw trees.

They were filled with water to prepare the soil for  planting, and dug square to allow the roots to reach out to the soil beyond.

Each tree was placed in its hole with a mixture of dolomite, soil from the holes and organic soil I had purchased.

Here are the paw paw trees just after planting, and here they are today.

They are red paw paws which are hermaphrodite so each one can produce fruit without the presence of another paw paw.

It is just such a joy to see trees growing and fruiting so quickly. Am so looking forward to those wonderful, ripe fruits.

My garden is new but already an ongoing adventure of change.
