Today was finally a nice day where I had a few extra minutes!

My mother-in-law has a couple of beautiful Japanese maple trees growing in her yard. I think the red leaves of the trees are absolutely beautiful. I always wanted my own, but they are quite expensive to buy.

I just might be able to have my own anyway! I stopped at my mother-in-laws after work today. I dug up about 18 seedlings that were growing all over the yard! I wanted to do this last week before she mowed them over, but it rained and rained and rained. She had to mow the grass this weekend before it got too out of control, so some of the bigger ones were already mowed down. I did manage to get quite a few, though!

I have potted several of them and am giving a few to my sister. I am hoping that a few of them will survive. I would love to have my own trees to plant in my yard some day. Right now they are still too small. But in a year or two, I could have my own Japanese Maple tree!

Do you like Japanese Maples? Would you consider planting them in your yard? Have you ever grown a tree from a seedling?
