I look after my trees and I have noticed the fruits of my labour. Some of my little trees that are still potted will be given to my friends when I sadly leave my garden for somebody else. If they wreck the garden I created, I shall be most upset. <br /><br />Enjoy your Sunday.

The old house that I refer to and now live in, is around the same age as the one you refer to. It was originally built around the same time they discovered gold in Helena. There is the original log cabin under the present structure..... they just built over it.. It actually acts as a good insulation. Ha<br />Did you ever see the movie the Christmas tree with Julie Harris? She was a nun, older now, and tells of her life long relationship with a certain tree. Maybe you could relate to that.

I can picture you in the warm classic Russian garb with your beautiful dark hair getting a little frosty. Ha<br />I'm sure your plants feel your love or they wouldn't thrive so well for you. The reason I learned horticulture was not really of my own choosing. My mother was neurotic about her kitchen and wouldn't let anyone near it. I never learned to cook, except what my grandmother taught me and I spent my world outdoors with my father who was a natural gardner. <br />It was from him that I learned to love growing plants and trees but I never learned how to cook. Oh, a little but I always hated it. Then when I went to college, my field was horticulture and I can honestly say, I never learned anything.... only chemicals. My father was my real teacher and all my life I've thanked him for that. I always cherish your posts and comments.

While living for 32 years in a lovely, old, lumberjack home--built in 1870--in Stillwater, Minnesota, I planted several trees and watched them grow as I would a child of my delight. Watering is essential but simply talking to trees and shrubs and flowers gives them the encouragement they need to flourish. Peace.

When I was a teenager, I planted a tiny mimosa tree in the front yard, and when a huge rainstorm popped up, I stood out in the rain holding onto that tree. I was so afraid the wind and rain would be too much for it. It wasn't. That tree grew to be huge... and gorgeous.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647852722354804887.post-15966337891671690152014-01-23T04:41:39.808-08:002014-01-23T04:41:39.808-08:00I hope 2014 proves to be a good year for you and y...I hope 2014 proves to be a good year for you and yours!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647852722354804887.post-67151223902855992342014-01-22T20:18:40.795-08:002014-01-22T20:18:40.795-08:00Jasmine

That was a new subdivision and no trees. I planted so many tres and they were growing well as Bozeman was farming country and the soil is rich. No one planted trees or flowers and didn't water the boulevard trees. I would sneak my hose to the neighbors trees and let it trickle all night. Everyone's trees were dying and I bet hers will be dead by now too. That was the big reason I moved back to Helena. The street was so barren and ugly when I turned the corner onto my street. I was the first person in the subdivision and if I had known what kind of people would move in, I would have chosen an established neighborhood. I find it very difficult to live without trees and flowers.Manzanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467261212623663365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647852722354804887.post-5936219833095439372014-01-22T11:14:30.765-08:002014-01-22T11:14:30.765-08:00I don't know which type of tree is best, but I...I don't know which type of tree is best, but I do tend to love them all.
