Moving a Texas Palm Tree



This will be my first year of gardening at Das Kleine Haus. My plan is to move some of the existing plants to new locations.


There are three Texas palms planted much too close to the house. One was re-located this past week end.

I want to first see if it will live, before I make the effort to move the other two. The best location is one corner of the back deck. My thoughts are the foliage will give a nice backdrop for the outdoor cooking space.

I'm without a greenhouse for this year, so I have built several cold frames. The old windows were salvaged from the farm.





On the days the temperature is warmer, I can simply lift the top.

Romaine and red tip lettuce have been planted directly in the ground. What you see covering the garden is fruit tree netting. It helps keep the small animals from digging around the plants.











Friday will be another Project Day with Meg's Studio. Check back to see the updates on the move.











Yes, I am the wizard who occupies the studio....
