I'm up for some gardening.

Me too!

Gotta find an oak tree if I can't get a Chestnut.  I had a really nice Burr Oak started last year that was up to about 6' tall, about 3/4" diameter trunk!  Would have been the perfect tree for this little adventure, and in just a very short time would have towered over all the buildings for half mile around!!   Well, maybe not quite that big, but they do grow large - my backyard tree is about 20 years old or so, and is 45 ft tall.  2 1/2 ft diameter trunk!   Gonna make some fantastic wood flooring.


Sadly, it did not survive the wet spring followed by a several week hot dry spell - stressed out and died!!   We talked some in the last stages and I think the real story was that it saw what was happening in this country with the growth of "Trumpian politics" and just couldn't stand the idea of either of them being President!   Like that ladies obituary from earlier this year....
