John and I were out admiring our new front entrance at Struan Farm this past weekend and noticed little seedling trees sprouting up in our tulip bed in the wooded roadside garden.
Hmm. We'd taken leaves from under the oak tree in the Pet Paddock by trailer with the little girls when we planted the tulip bulbs in the autumn.
I pulled one or two up to find out. These were little oak trees! Very cool.
So of course I've potted some up and will encourage them on. Ella and Livvy are coming to visit again next weekend, so we'll have them pot the rest of the seedlings.
p.s. who was it that said "Great oaks from little acorns grow?" Winnie the Pooh!
