Maybe if you are lucky you can find a city that will take one, but usu they are grown to spec. by certified growers. You never know and can't hurt to ask. Might get lucky. And I doubt any city is planting Monterey pine at this time, nor should any homeowner, unless yours has been certified resistant to pine pitch canker. If not, I wouldn't recommend planting one. Dan

That's great, zone 8 sounds pretty nice! Right now, everything I have is indoors, under lights and in a heated room. :-) Last frost date will be less than two months away. It's way to early to put anything that's actively growing outside around here. Highs only getting into the 50's with mid 30's popping up a day or two in a row. Things don't really grow much in that kind of weather even if no frost at night (it didn't freeze the last couple of nights) and last year when I put new seedlings outside during the day, they went dormant and it took a while to get them going again. So yes you get to know how to judge your particular climate, just thought I'd mention that so the op would consider their area. :-) Even though I'm zone 3, near z4 border, I've learned that z5 isn't all that far ahead of us, maybe a couple of weeks earlier that we are. The main difference is the depth of cold during a somewhat longer winter. Once it gets to this time of year it's not a big of a difference really. :-)

Wow! Your whole yard is a testament to Earth Day. It's beautiful. I especially like your lettuce plates. They have such a dainty feeling to them. The napkin rings are a nice touch too. Syble, it's all so charming. Now, I shall speak to your imagined tardiness. The assignment was due today. So you are in the clear. Let me remind you, however, that waiting until the last minute is not always the wisest thing to do. As you know, I give a few extra credit points for anyone who turns their assignment in early (This helps me have a long span of time in which to correct all the assignments.) Your work has been exemplary up to this time, but you never know when those few extra points may come in handy. Back to your work - I want some stemware like yours. I have lots of dishes, but not much in the way of glasses. I'd like to start thinking about getting some with a little color. Do the goblets have the same diamond design as the snifters?
