Yesterday my oldest son brought me out some trees to plant on the farm ((50 trees for 38.00 bucks)), he got a real good deal on some Blue Spruce and some Red Maples that will look cool growing all over the farm, Here are a few pics from yesterday and i will take more pics today when we go and finish planting the rest.
And the grandson even got in on planting some of them.
We got 10 planted yesterday and will get the rest planted today.

Good job on the tree planting, Mike. It'll make you a nice windbreak one of these days.

We planted a few last year and I planted a Leland Cypress a few days ago. We had a bunch of little pines about a foot tall that we pulled up somewhere and planted but only one survived and it's doing real good. We pulled up a few larger ones about waist high last year and a couple of them are doing good but the others died.

I think i may buy more trees of different kinds than what i just planted and plant them also in the pasture, should have a forest in about 10 years lolol and the deer should start coming in, well as long as they don't come in and eat them.
