Trees got staked.

Yesterday morning while the temperature was in the 90s Hubby decided we had to stake our new trees because he had to return the stake pounder later that morning.

 

It was hard work especially for people our age with replaced knees, arthritic joints, etc. But I think he did a fantastic job. His hands and joints were sore last night and today, but there is a great sense of achievement. Now we just have to remember to water wisely. We are still in a drought here in California. 

This is one of our trees with the stakes, but that trunk is still very small. Hope it gains girth before the Santa Ana winds start this month.
