Thin the south and west sides as much as possible I luck out on the south side because that is all the dying spruce. Westside also works because that is where I want to screen so I will hinge some trees

Patty partridge found a home in my new stump plot. She just about gave me a heart attack. Didn't want to bother her so I planted a few trees and got out.

^^^^. I had a partridge nest like that in my orchard the first year I started clearing it out. I haven’t flushed any out of there since.

Looking good Chummer. I wish my latest plot looked that good. I’ve got lots of ferns that have popped up in the past couple weeks. I sprayed it with roundup this morning.

Chummer, Here’s my plot. I hit the ferns again yesterday with gly. Do you think that one dose will do it or should I plan on two doses?

^^^. I was thinking about the weed whacking but, had the road up with me and didn’t have the trimmer. Well I’ll spread seed next week then. I think the lower the ph tge more persistent they are.

My lime guy let me down. Imagine this, they can't find drivers to get the shipments in. He promises he will have a ton for me next week. So, I dragged the plot and sprayed anything green with round up. Our growing season is over in a couple weeks so I want to get this thing planted.
