SWEET LITTLE SEEDLINGS

Jim, Kevin and I planted 40 little Douglas Fir seedlings on Saturday. We ordered them about a month ago, then went to the fairgrounds and picked them up on Saturday morning. We rented a gas powered auger with a 10" drill bit. Jim and Kevin dug 40 holes in less than 2 hours.

I got the seedlings planted in 3 hours.

Here's our "firstborn".

Here's about 30 of the 40 little guys. You have to look hard to see them. Kevin mowed this portion of the field, so the grass wouldn't be higher than the baby trees. As you can see, we are continuing a tree line that goes to the main road. There are about 80 of the full grown trees.

A video of this nifty hole digger. It was awesome!!

I'm sure there a mortality rate for these little seedlings, but I don't know what it is. If all 40 live more than 2 years, I'm going to change my e-mail address to kathypaulbunyuncoverstone@comcast.net
