Young Pine!  I found this young pine tree in the timber underneath a grove of pines. This little tree was trying to survive under the canopy, but he wasn't getting any sunlight at all. I found him last fall, and I carefully dug him up and put him in one of my half barrels by the back door. I didn't pay to much attention to him over the winter. This spring with all the rain we have received this guy has grown about six inches!! I'm not kidding!! He is now nestled snuggly amongst the basil, purple cone flower and chocolate mint! He is happy there, and continues to grow, even in this heat. Talking about perseverence!! What an inspiration! Everyday when I see this little pine I am reminded that even when the odds are stacked against your favor, you can still stretch and grow!!!
