The rains started yesterday and today we even had hail. Goodbye dusty leaves and dusty roads. The tree farm is glowing. Willow, our farm dog always comes along when we walk around the trees in the nursery.

Our great farm hand Stanton is carefully repotting a Coast Live Oak to the next size. Notice that the roots were not circling the root ball. This is a great feature with fabric pots and sets the tree up for a very successful transplant.
Saving water in California is on everyone's mind, we hope. Putting in drip irrigation and using lots of water-conserving techniques is no longer an option—it is a necessity. Good old Ruth Stout's heavy mulching strategies will save much of what would evaporate without it. Using gray water is now legal in California and just in time! Our dear planet needs all the green we can plant, for keeping our CO2 levels from going even higher. Plant trees and perennials whenever possible. Green plants help the planet. Shade from trees cools our homes, schools, animals and us.
Plant Trees for beauty, fresh air, nature, privacy, property value and general loveliness.
