this week, 100 balsam seedlings packed in damp newspaper shreds,
in a large box, arrived on our porch at "a bit of earth".
(last year it was fraser firs)
we have spent the day planting, fertilizing and mulching them.
we are hoping for a gentle and soaking rain tonight.
there will be more planting tomorrow, i suspect.
graduated from nyu, came along to help.
it was one of her first ventures into rural life.
we teased her about our "forestry project".
here they are, taking a break.
hope you are enjoying the weekend!
100 seedlings? That's amazing! Are you starting a tree farm?
ReplyDeleteActually, the place we bought in Vermont three years ago has 6 of its 16 acres planted in balsams. Now we are learning a lot about balsam trees! Since we are there only part time, we have to pack a lot into our occasional weekends!
