This time I got smart and borrowed the electric jack hammer shovel from a friend.
My wife likes to buy those small potted living Christmas trees around the Hollidays. When the Hollidays are over we plant them in big pots. They do well here, but then they get too big for the pots.
I looked up what they are: Italian Stone Pines. It says these are where we get pine nuts from. My wife loves pine nuts, so this will be great in a few more years. Apparently these trees grow a great big umbrella canopy when they mature. I planted them just outside the tortoise enclosures where they should throw some great mid day and afternoon shade once they grow up.
Here is a picture I pulled form the internet of what they might looks like as mature trees:
