Trees are finally all in the ground...

When will you allow me to kill this?

Ralph looks like he wants to snap this one in half. Good luck with that...

J recording what is planted where.

Looking down the top row. We planted these in the middle of the night. They're pretty close to being where they need to be.

Dragging water up the hill from the creek. We are going to get a water tank for the little tractor, but for now it is fun making the kids fetch the water.

The leftovers.
We planted the last of the trees today. It has been a very wet and cold spring. The ground was still pretty wet, but hopefully it was drained enough to plant the remaining trees. Here are a couple of pictures from today.
After they were all in the ground I offered to mow around the seedlings. I almost hit one straight on. I would have had some 'splainin to do... It was on a bit of a hill and I was so worried about tipping the mower that I almost drove right over the little tree. I will have to develop a strategy for not killing the trees.
