Get to work on the weeds (and plant more trees)

Those weeds won't cut themselves and I've fallen behind.

The row of black hills spruce along the northern border of the acreage: 


And leading up to the pond:


These pictures were from a couple of weekends ago as I spent about 5 hours on the Stihl trimmer until the lightning flash convinced me to call it a day. I was able to clean the row with the spruces and where the nectarines and chestnuts are growing.

Speaking of chestnuts, we planted two more this past weekend on the 14th. And three more apple trees (gala and red delicious). And our last pawpaw replacements. And four more nectarine trees. That means another 12 is added to the list for a YTD of 156. Almost forgot, we dug an asparagus bed and started our vineyard with three grapevines.


Is the asparagus a vegetable? I don't know but we should harvest them in a couple of years.


Of course, we caged these up to restrict rodents and deer, as demonstrated below by the Mrs and #2 son.


Yep, it was a busy weekend.
