Mother's Day 2011: cedar

This year I made my usual request: a day of family gardening! We did some cardboard mulching, planted seeds (late this year on account of cold, rainy weather!), and replaced our dead Japanese Maple with a weeping cedar. Let's hope the tree takes this year!

(Actually, we're calling it a "chilled out" cedar, because we don't like the depressing thought of a weeping tree.)

Tristen and I also made one of our butterfly pies. For the life of me, I couldn't find the damned rolling pin. Had to use a mason jar and teensy playdough roller to prepare the crust.
