Subaru is giving away free baby sequoia redwoods
I went to get an oil filter yesterday at Stevens Creek Subaru (Only because they have the sexiest parts manager alive!), and when I went to go pay I noticed a box with baby trees that were packaged in little bags with "Share the love" ad campaign, instructions on how to plant it, etc.
I grabbed two, the lady at the counter told me to grab as many as I wanted.
I came home, flushed the organic soil I made last month, adjusted PH of my water, areated the soil, and bam. I thought it was really cool of Subaru to do this.
Here they are in their new temporary homes (Until spring).

That's cool! 32 years ago when I was almost 5 I planted a Douglas fur in Oregon and last year when I went for a visit I couldn't believe how huge it got. I got mine from smokey the bear 
one thing I miss about home is the lack of trees and lawns etc that are seriously missing here pretty soon the whole area is going to be pavement.

Rad. I've got like 60 of them growing on my property right now. Make sure you leave some space when you plant those bad boys... they get WIDE before they get tall. Taken up my damn driveway!
