The 90-Day Plan: DAY 67

DAY 67

Pick a spot and PLANT a TREE.  Why not?  Research different types of native trees and choose one that would be best for your yard.

Challenge:   What age do you think the oldest tree is on your property?  Why do native trees and plants use less water than non-native species?  Get a thermometer, how hot is it in the full sun?  What is the temperature in the shade?
