Yeri Ju (tree in Mandingo)


On Saturday we decided to get a tree for our deck. We went to Farmington Gardens, a great garden center on the edge of Beaverton. Fode and I are both clueless about plants and stuff, so we spent a while just wandering around. Then we found someone to help us and after explaining that we really didn't have a yard, but that we wanted a tree, he suggested a japanese maple. We saw several and Fode found one that he really liked. I wanted to go to another store to check their inventory before buying. Fode was worried someone would take our tree so we took a picture and turned it so the bad side was out. Then we left and went to 7 Dees in downtown Beaverton. The store was nice, but the prices were way higher so we drove back to Farmington Gardens. Fode was scared that the tree was gone. We went back, and as I figured, the tree was safe and unpurchased. We bought it and carefully brought it home. We were so excited! We set it on the deck and welcomed her to our house. Today we went and got a big pot, and soil for the tree. Now Yeri Ju(Mandigo for tree) is all settled in.
