Spring planting update, 3/16/14

As of 3/16, we have 35 chestnut sprouts from 55 nuts potted on 2/22:


And the red oak are breaking ground after initial planting on 2/22 and 3/1:


Our small "forest" numbers about 200 acorns and nuts planted so far in the basement. As the frost is below 6 inches at the acreage, I planted 20 black oak acorns (10 on 3/9 and 10 on 3/15) and 5 coffeetree nuts on 3/15.

No signs of white oaks or chestnuts that I planted in the ground last fall. Yeah, I know it's way too early, but I'm impatient and want some progress.
