July 13, 2013 First trees planted




   Today I planted the first two trees on the property. They are both lodge pole pine, the same kind of pine the house and garage are made of. If they survive, they could get to be over 60 feet high. The pine beetles won't bother them for at least another 65 years. Pine beetles only attack mature trees.

   The trees are planted about 100 yards in front of the house in a ravine. The grass in the ravine stays green most of the summer so they should get enough moisture. I guess we'll see!
