And I was proud of myself last spring when I planted 350 fruit trees,  
bushes, vines and nuts-- also all by hand, and most into sod, not a  
great idea but I was too impatient to wait a whole year.  How did you  
do it all?  Did you have help?  After digging 350 holes I had a sore  
shoulder for months!   I want to do another big planting this spring--  
but I'm trying to hold myself back and instead take really good care  
of what I planted last year.  Also want to wait and see how everything  
survived the winter-- not a great snow cover -- its all ending up in  
NYC.  One night -30.  And lots of potential rodent damage, we'll see.

I got 10 Carmine jewels from Bill Mackently last year-- they were not  
at all small -- around 4' with nice roots.  I wanted to order 50 more  
from him this year, but when I called him 3 weeks ago, he thought he  
was out so I only ordered 10.... and now he still has some!
