I ended up having a Buckeye Tree shipped to us so I could plant it for Owen. I did it for a few reasons:
1) I thought it would be neat to have a tree planted that was the same age as Owen so they could grow together. And if I was to plant a tree the only logical choice would be a Buckeye tree.
2) When we people asks me what a "buckeye" is, I can show them, the nut, the casing, and the tree that they come from.
3) To annoy my Wisconsin friends with the simple fact that I have permanently planted an "Ohio flag" of sorts in Wisconsin soil.
I just hope that I can develop some sort of green thumb. I really don't want this thing to die. I've got big plans for it.
Darin-you need to talk lovingly to your tree!
ReplyDeleteNance,
DeleteI might actually try that to keep this thing alive. :O)
