Letting God Sort it Out

Last spring I was walking through a local nursery and one of the large P. sylvestris was fruiting away so I reached down and dropped a few in my pocket. When I got home, I just as carelessly dropped them in a pot and forgot about it. A few months later, my wife pulled up a little Eastern Red Cedar seedling at her Dad's house, and not knowing seeds were in the same pot, in it went. So this spring, here is what we got. Since neither was all that special, I just went up front on the more sparsely planted part of the property and planted the whole mess. We'll see what God does from here.

That is sort of like throwing a dog and three cats into a burlap sack and waiting to see how it turns out.

So many species,

so little time.

Well, if those sylvestris seedlings survive the winter and start looking real happy about life, that Easter Red Ceder could disappear. Just saying. But I already have 5 very nice size sylvestris on the property, so no sleep lost if it turn out the other way around, either.

It's not going to hurt those palms if you dig them out and pot them up. It's really a low hanging fruit, I just don't see why you're gonna just stand by on the sidelines. Keep your wife happy and let the cedar grow and have some backup palms.

I don't think God would really care.

That's a problem you've created. :winkie:

And yes, they'll probably all live and you'll get annoyed that they look like a mess and be impossible to clean up.

But hey. Let's sit back and see what happens. :)
