The baby potted pine tree lived in the house these past four months, but not well. She was rarely fed and never talked to and didn't get much sunlight either.
I noticed her brown & bare spots and felt shame. Then I remembered the hole.
There was a hole in our backyard when we moved in. I started filling it with grass clippings after mowing the lawn, eventually adding biodegradable food trash as well.
so I gave the hole a modest stir with a shovel. I bought a bag of fancy dirt, recommended by the unlucky garden store clerk who had to hear my sad tale of neglect. I unplugged the baby pine from her potted existence, plucked her into the hole and surrounded her with the fancy dirt.
And there she sits. I look at her proudly on occassion, although I honestly have no idea if my transplant worked or not.
time will tell.
