[elky McElkerson]

i am so tired.

my wife got an urge to plant a fig tree. we already have a small one, but she wanted the dark purple figs..hmm..okay. the thing was bigger than i thought. digging a hole 3x the pot size was brutal...shovel and digging bar. what a workout!! i am done and the tree looks good.

my wife just texted me a picture of a peach tree.. oh man!

We built our house 15 yrs ago. There isn\'t a tree in the yard that hasn\'t been planted three times. Thats a total of 15 holes. I feel your pain (still). :downthumb:

I built a pole barn about 12 years ago. I had to dig 20 holes 16\" in round and 4 feet deep. The worst was the ground was clay most of the way. I had to slam a post hole digger in the ground to get just 2 inches deep then retrieve it from the hole and bang it against a cement block 3 or 4 times to get the sticky stuff to fall off. Forty hours later I had the job done. It was not fun.
