2000 worms in Ikea

worm woman located north east corner of union square park they have amazing dirt and worms
1000 red worms
I made 2 worm beds out of the New York Times writing by the likes of Roberta Smith and other notables will make food for my new pets. 2 drawers contain 1000 worms each. Last night I forgot to leave a light on, perhaps because they were lost 80 died on the floor of my studio.
The horror of drying up lost in the dark. The plan is to make dirt out of garbage for the trees growing quickly now.
left: red and ? oak right: Pin oak
These seeds needed to be wintered before they sprout although a few seem to be premature.
The plan is to find discarded furniture on the street to serve as planters for these trees.
I am going to need a lot of dirt hence the worms. It is much easier to find furniture then worms in NYC. Merry x-mas:)

Chestnut taproot

(click on image for detail)
Bought Parkslope Food Coop nov.23 in dirt - dec. 11. Got 10 of these growing. The rest enjoyed for thanksgiving. The Coop's website states these chestnuts are from Italy. Not in their 50 mile PC trucking radius. It is questionable how they will weather the winter here in my studio in Williamsburg, perhaps with global warming they will make it.

Red Oak/ Blades of Grass

Red Oak (click on image to enlarge)
This is the second Red Oak planted on Block Island. I built this structure out out drift wood to protect it from the deer, but on visiting it last weekend, the grass had grown so quickly that the sunlight was cut off and it's growth was severely stunted. I would say it is about 2" high.

Red Oak/Sugar Maple

Red Oak
This tree was taken as an acorn from Ogunguit Maine and planted on Block Island RI.
I built a structure around it to protect it from the deer. It grew about 6".

Sugar Maple (click to enlarge)
Transplanted from my in-laws flower garden in Bloomfield CT. to a spot away from their foundation. It was about 4 feet tall and the deer kept it that height.

Tree obsession

Sugar Maples and Red Oaks in transit
London Plane planted July 2009

Pin Oak planted Christmas 2008 after 5 years of 311 calls.
This begins another interest- All told I have planted 7 trees, pictures coming the 2nd was a sugar maple at my inlaws in Bloomfield CT. Transplanted from there foundation wall. This year 2009 I planted a London Plane, ordered from Ned Phillips, 2 sugar maples and 3 Red Oaks transplanted from Maine all brought To Block Island Rhode Island. This obsessions also manifests itself in cutting down trees.
