Well, the bed is built. Now I just need to set up soaker hoses and a timer to get it ready for later this week

The first 100 or a few hundred trees are planted

Haha. No, it's some white plastic that the roots of the pines' and firs' roots were wrapped in

Congratulations on getting your first tree stock planted, that's exciting!

I planted a Catalpa here last spring. I hauled it up from Calif where I bought it at a Master Gardener show. I like it. But many folks won't have one cus they are very very messy.

So are cottonwoods, or honeynlocusts or Kentucky Coffee trees. Hell, a mature bur oak will drop 250,000 acorns in a year
