Tree Progress

Since we planted the chestnut trees last weekend, it has rained more than 6 inches in 8 days, and more is on the way. I was concerned about how this would affect our new seedlings. When we checked on the trees yesterday, more than 90% are already putting out their leaves. I'm very pleased with this progress and had no idea that we would see change so quickly.

Our next step is to work on the grassy areas between the rows and to plan for careful weed control and deer prevention.
