In Jo's Yard - 13 A Sea of Pine Straw


Day 2 of the Phase 1 planting, SO-O-O much pine straw is delivered!  Of course, it will cover the entire yard, not just Phase 1, in an effort to prevent grass and weeds from cropping up.  

The two Flatwood Plum trees and the Wild Lime tree are small, but I am excited to think about the beauty, the shade and the cover they will provide for me and the local wildlife.  Three hundred plus frog fruit plants are here, but by the end of the day, it is a sea of pine straw.  Still, I don’t think it will be long before wonderful things start happening!  

                       Plants are in the ground – pine straw ready to be spread around
