Yes! The first locust tree out of four is in.
Still to do ... gotta add about one more layer of rock to its retaining wall, plus install tree braces to hold the roots firm for a couple of years.
Aw, one's gardening mind is always active .... the view from here this morning is already stirring the imagination juices with next spring's planting .... perhaps some pretty annuals cascading over the new retaining wall?
("Ruffy, you pee on that new tree and you're going over the back wall!!!!")

Now it is on to three more three foot holes. Anyone out there need a working vacation in the Niagara? Bring a shovel! hahahaha
