This weekend, we planted a couple more red oak seedlings and another 15 white oak acorns. That brings our total of 1203 trees, seedlings, acorns and nuts planted for the year. We might get a few more in the ground but I think it's time to wind things down.
My goal of 1000 was met and exceeded for the year. Now, if we can keep the critters away so they can have a chance to grow, we can relax on the numbers in the coming years. Our fall harvest will be used in the spring to replace any seedlings lost over the winter.
We planted another 38 aronia berry plants and put up fencing in our attempt to keep the deer and rabbits out. We called it a day after running out of chicken wire and will complete the fencing next weekend. If time allows. more aronias will be planted (and maybe a few more white oak acorns.)
