Tree Planting And Garden Update

Hello, Steemians! Welcome back to my balcony garden. The mystery tree has woken up! I still am not sure what kind of tree this is. Usually volunteer trees are Trees Of Heaven, which are an invasive species here and will grow in a rock if you let them, but that's not what this one is. There are two other trees in the parking lot just coming into leaf, one of them closer and timed exactly with this one, so I have to remember to inspect them up close and see if they match. From a distance, the leaves look paler and maybe not as ridged, but maybe that's because mine is a baby tree? ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I'll figure it out as the season progresses.

I traded the SBD raised for the Arbor Day Foundation into BCH hours ago, but it seems to be taking its sweet time changing from "pending" to "available" in my Coinbase account so I can sell it for fiat and donate! Cernunos on a cracker. I wonder how long the sell will take? I've never converted to Bitcoin Cash before. Anyway, I'll make an official post once dollars are in the hands of the ADF (hahaha, Druid humor: that's also the acronym for a major North American Druid group). All total, there was 8.202 SBD, just shy of $30 when I sold it. We're gonna plant a grove, y'all! 🌳🌲🌴

I made Official Decisions regarding the flower seedlings today. I was planting all old seeds and wasn't sure how many would take. So I pulled any pots that had nothing going by now that were way past their germination times (I left the Bells of Ireland, which can take over a month to germinate!). The winners seem to be mixed variety packets packed for 2013. Hooray!

So I will have mystery flowers as well, at least until I can identify any of them. There are a few struggling corn poppies dated for 2015, but I've never had them make it past baby stage before, so please send some good juju to my flowers! :)

Poppies poppies poppies poppies Dorothy... Dorothy...

I have a second tomato sprout too, so hopefully I get more noms this year than last!

Also on the tee planting front, I am trying my hand at planting some apple tree seeds. These are from I think a Gala apple. I know fruit seeds aren't supposed to produce identical fruit, yadda, yadda, but if I get trees, period, I'm happy. Wish us luck!
