The Best Time to Plant a Tree

My grandfather always said that the best time to plant a tree is today and twenty years ago.  Here's how H&D started the week.

Gitte showed up on Saturday to do some heavy lifting in the side yard.  (She also delivered us life-saving curry yesterday.)

And then, here was Earth Day 2014 at the Horse & Dragon:

Trees!  Hooray!  3 ginko bilobas to one day shade the Horse & Dragon Brewing Company's parking lot!



We had the perfect crew here working on this:   

Before we even got to the digging, we borrowed Kim's truck.  A word to the wise:  beware of telling people starting a business that you own a truck...

Shannon provided some landscaping expertise:

Best sunhats ever?

They function pretty well as a beer shade, too -- "Use the cone, avoid the skunk!" might be our beer festival mantra.

TimCo channeling agricultural practices seen in Vietnam 15 years ago.

Shannon giving thirsty spring pansies a drink, too.

Be happy here, gingko trees!

Kyle and John at work on their brainchild.

Bike Tree -- just too awesome.

Bike on out here and have a great, tasty, fresh craft beer with us!  Make every day Earth Day.

Twenty years from now let's reconvene in the shade here and be grateful that we chose the best time to plant a tree.
