More Tree News and Tractor Update

On the advice of a person in the know, we have enclosed our new trees in chicken wire.  Amazingly the process of doing this went very well.



We were thrilled that it was so easy!  One, two, three trees safely protected from the ravages of the deer and whatever other monsters were out and about.  Then, as so often happens with our projects, we were unable to finish the job because of poor planning!


We are about six feet short of enclosing that fourth tree!  What to do?  We decided this little tree was going to have to survive for a while exposed to the elements.

Our lawn/grass in recent weeks, because of the good rains we've gotten, has grown very tall.  We have no equipment except for our weed wacker and brush cutter.  Both are hand-held and totally inadequate for this massive job.  However, in recent weeks, Peg has wacked as best she can so we have access to the doggie containment area and various other spots around the house.  Our thoughts yesterday were to go look for a tractor and various attachments to begin really tackling this problem. What we found costs as much as a small car!  So for the time being it looks like we be wacking.
