One of the pine trees I grew from seed


One of the pine trees I grew from seed

I moved this one as it was getting bashed about with wheelbarrows twoing and frowing along the path where it was situated - it obviously likes its new home much better. I thought it might die if I moved it but it was going to get so squashed where it was I took the chance and eh ho it looks well.

thank you Terra - I have three in total that I grew from a mixed packet of seed many years ago now, think if I recall correctly there were about 7 or 8 seeds in the packet maybe more. Two I lost before they got to any size and one grew but I never liked it so chopped it back. There are three left growing in the garden. The silly thing is they were supposed to be miniature pine trees all different but only one of them is miniature one (this one) the other two have gone rather silly and reached rather large size. Maybe they are miniature to what they would normally be like I have no idea what they are but they are bigger than what I was expecting anyhow. lol

It must have been fun wondering what would emerge from the seeds. Yes ... "miniature" perhaps in comparison to huge trees .... Lol.

Me too Karen, I just love to touch their needles.

Terra - yes it was fun waiting, I did not believe I would get anything from the seeds, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Probably the first trees I ever grew and maybe the last lol.
