Planting for the long haul

Today we planted aspargus and a flowering crab apple tree and some juniper plants. They all look small and not very interesting right now, lost among the open banks that are housing them. I know that later, they should grow large and be much more appealing. It is the patience it takes to realize that down the road 4 or 5 years we will enjoy them much more. Much more appealing than it was today trying to dig out rocks to get them planted before it rained. I really liked planting the colorful pansies much more, because they were instant gratification. Spring colors to liven up the house.
