The bulk of our new trees/shrubs showed up in a box from Burnt Ridge Nursery on Monday. We're not quite ready to start planting them en masse, but I wanted to get them out of the box and into some soil (the nursery standard "throw some wet newspapers in the box to keep the roots moist" trick can go awry rather quickly in a small enclosed airspace).
So after getting home last night, I spent half an hour madly trying to get them all toed in/potted before the sun went down. Some of them had already started leafing out, which would be bad news if they got left outside for a hard freeze.
So now the front end of our garage is positively crammed with semi-dormant baby trees and shrubs!
