We are in the computer lab and eagerly awaiting our new seedlings.
We are having trouble logging and we are having trouble getting our blogs started.
We discovered that to use BlogSpot that we have to log into goggle first and then start our blogs.
They arrived! I am excited to announce that this year's seedlings are "Blue Spruce".
The Latin name is Picea Pungens!
In Latin it means Latin "pix" (pitch-producing) from Greek "pissa" (pitch) / sharp (leaves) - Latin "pungere" (to prick).
I guess that means a tree that produces pitch and has sharp needles.
Check out some of the websites I found about our trees:
