I can grow a tree :)

We had such scorching hot weather last year and I had started with terra cotta pots. I am slowly starting to switch to plastic and adding mulch. I had no clue what mulch even was. Then I had every single new leaf infested with leaf miners and then I got the caterpillars that look like bird poop. I actually thought they were poop bird until I realized all the bird poop was the same shape. Lol.
