Mr. Farquhar's Tree

Friday November ,5 2010 The New Tree

We planted a tree yesterday with Mr. Farquhar. It is a Japanese Maple. It was very rainy outside. We had do put some compost in the hole for the tree. We had to make sure there was enough soil in the hole for the plant to come up to the edge of the top of the hole. There were lots of worms in the soil that will help the plant grow. The reason Mr. Farquhar wanted to plant a tree when he retired was because he loved the nature and he loved trees. We planted it over by the outdoor center because no one can step on it there and it was also because he loves it there. When we were done we got a special treat.
