white oak! (i.postimg.cc)

we had to cut down a maple in this spot last year, as it was in danger of collapsing on our house. i planted this three-foot-nothing white oak to take its place, and i'm excited to watch it grow! the soil is super rich and well-draining right here since we had the stump ground down and left all the mulch to decompose. basically black gold. bee heart eyes emoji

edit: seeing all those invasive privets in the background. bee sob emoji

My dog: STICK! CHOMP

He excitedly murdered my first maple when we planted one out front.

The replacement is doing quite well, though!
