This is a little one-foot-tall western hemlock that I tried to transplant to the gravel hillside of the new driveway.
I’ve messed some with planting alder saplings, and they seem to do well enough on average. But something about the hemlocks makes them resist transplantation – they all seem to die. This, despite growing like weeds everywhere. I think they have fragile root systems.
Anyway, this little hemlock gives me hope, because it put out some green buds just these past two days. Like maybe, it has decided to live.
I’m struggling, lately, with feeling stuck and unmotivated. I’ll wait it out.
