more trees planted

Last weekend we planted 400 red oaks, 300 wild plum, and 75 crab apples.  3 weeks ago we sprayed all the grass and installed corner posts for the fence.  We hung the cables and stretched the netting.  Hopefully the deer don't figure out that the netting is very thin and couldn't stop them from walking right through without slowing them down.

Man, that's a lot of deer food.

Hopefully the fence keeps them out.

a few years back they or something knocked down my fence. I made the mistake of cutting some cedar into stakes and using that. I have since switched to metal fence posts and have been cutting cages for some of the smaller blueberry bushes and stuff I've planted.

hopefully some day your kids will get to enjoy those big oaks your planting.

I plan to live and hunt until I'm 100.  Trees will be plent big by then.

If I remember correctly, last year might have been the first year in the past sever decades that my dad didn't plant a tree or trees.  Then again he's slowing down some at 93.  Best time to plant a tree was yeaterday, today isn't bad either.

we ran out of good spots at the land to plant anymore trees. I think now what I'll do is wait and maintain what we've planted and then replace the ones we lose.

slowing down at 93? man, that generation just doesn't wanna work does it?
