What is in the ground now?

This is what our yard has so far. Two patmore ash trees, one austrian pine, two blue spruce trees, one crab apple "prarie fire," two bailey dogwood bushes, one lilac, and some grass. We have tried a few different things. Bigger holes on some, more compost in some, and played with how much of the root ball needs to be showing to make it match the picture on the instructions.

So far everything is doing well and enjoying the rain. We will be buying the rest of our garden in the next few days and hopefully we will still be able to find plants.

My garden is doing awesome. The onions look fantastic and the radishes are almost ready to eat. They have loved the rain. The only huge bummer about the rain is that it is extremely hard to plant in six to twelve inches of mud. I should say, pretty easy to dig in the mud but hard to stand in it.

I am super excited that at least we have some things in the ground. The lilac we planted will take at least three years to bloom. I can't believe it takes so long. Hopefully the wait will be worth it.
