I know these are silly pictures but I am so excited to be within sight of the finish line.

Plants massing for their movement to the land. The 13 acres was cornfield so part of the work will be stocking the land with flowers, trees, shrubs and other plants.

Ready for deployment:
raspberries, strawberries, russian sage, day lillies, purple lilacs, chinese lilacs, hostas, forsynthias, horseradish, trumpeter vines and any thing else I can propagate from my garden or someone else's.





My neighbor had a roll of chain link left over from his fencing of his yard so I will fence in a small area and plant many of the stock there until next year. By then we should have a better idea of the layout of the land and ponds and hopefully the plants will have some size to avoid dear and other creatures.

A friend who is a landscaper found a nursery that is going out of business and I can get (50) 4 foot blue spruce dug up, delivered and planted for almost nothing. The lady just wants the trees gone.
