Every year the local conservation folks hold a native plant sale. This year I purchased some tiny wild iris, some Indian plum trees, a bunch of kinikinik for ground cover out front, and some huckleberries. Here is a photo of the plum trees taken in mid-February when I planted them The yellow tubes are plastic mesh, held with bamboo stakes, intended to keep the deer away. Dear deer.
Since the plot I dug was on the route of a cat trail by the fence, I used willow tree prunings to create a low woven fence in hopes of re-routing them a bit. Not sure it worked exactly as I planned; everyone knows you can't herd cats!
