🌎 Earth Day Accomplishment 🌎
Here is our new Plum Tree. ("Early Italian Plum" variety)

I had actually forgot yesterday that it was Earth Day today. So while I was a little disappointed I didn't get this done yesterday, it turned into a nice memorable Earth Day addition.

Love planting trees. It's like planting hope every time. :)

It is mounded for now because that will be the height of the yard once I move more of PondPool Mountain around. 😂

A small tree stands in the middle of a amount of fresh dirt. There is a wire fence with cedar railing behind it. There are a few other small shrubs and things growing along with fence line. Behind the fence is the neighbor's yard. It is all under Dura darkening blue sky.
A different angle shows the same tree in amount of dirt. You can see the path grassy towards the gate at the side of the house. Our neighbour house is visible in gray stucco.

Oh guess what we got this weekend! Woohoo! All the intensive efforts hand-watering, sun screen cloth and jasmine fertilizer have paid off. First blooms this year. There are so many clusters of tiny buds I think we will have even more blooms today. The scent is heavenly. And from the photo you can see I did go ahead and get the blue herons! #Backyard #Jasmine #Vines #Flowers

One of the blue heron outdoor decorations in front of a giant post with jasmine vine growing up a white trellis by the front post of a tall white arbor. You can see the leafy green vine is filled with many branches, green oblong leaves and tiny white flowers. We are training the vines to grow up the arbor and start to grow across the arbor. This is in front of a gray cement block wall. Under the arbor there is a 3 shelf white rack with small potted plants.
Close view of tiny white jasmine flowers shaped like 5 petal stars and many thin clusters of buds nearby. They tend to droop down on the vine. The leaves a medium dark green oblong shape coming to a rounded point. You can see blurry white arbor post and trellis in background.

The day is done. Made a reasonable dent in the mountain. Raised the level of about half of the driveway. Tomorrow I will measure the fabric for the car tracks and put down another 2 loads of dirt to bring it to the edge of the tracks.

Then we'll need to wait until a weekday when I am home to go get sand, gravel, and top soil.

Maybe Ill go to the stone shop next week and grab the flagstones for the path. 🤔

Lots to do!

Then we will move to the backyard again and start on plumbing for the poolpond!

A large mound of dirt sits on the left with a significant cut made where the dirt is loose and has been shovelled away. The small trailer is visible to the right. Behind the large hole for the pool surrounded by rubber liner.
View of the driveway shows the bright blue house in the back on the right and a gray house on the left with a gap and a path in between. In the foreground are two car tracks with gravel separated by grass in the middle. There is fresh dirtaround the edge of most.

Excited for the additions! Bought an Italian plum to replace the old and dying Italian plum on our neighbour’s side. And bought another Northern Spy 🍏 to plant in the front in place of an aged hydrangea.

This will complete the complement of 3 apple trees in the front yard! Yay! (2 northern spy semi dwarf, 1 blushing delight columnar visible in the previous post beside the little dump truck) and start the fruit tree complement in the back to go with the well established hazelnut tree. I want at least 2 more fruit trees in the back. Possibly four.

A small plum tree stands in a black pot beside a fence and in tall grass. On the other side of the fence is an old and mossy palm tree that is on its last legs.
