Good Morning. IT IS RAINING...
Babies are getting watered.
I could just see us irrigating tonight.
Now the fun begins. Keeping the trees healthy and disease free, bag worms and grass between the rows mowed. There are five of us who split up the mowing and it works out very well.
We now have Concolor Fir, Douglas Fir and Canaan Fir plus Norway Spruce and a few Blue Spruce. Last year the Douglas Fir developed a disease and we thought we would loose an entire field, but with constant spraying and lots of praying, we will see if those trees will survive this year. We took out over 50 trees that actually just died before Christmas season and we have hundreds of Douglas since they are easy and fast growers, so we will see what happens.
Here is a picture of the Douglas Fir. I took this from the mower. It was taken before they were trimmed for sale. Yes, I mow between these big babies and it is very hard on your legs if you do not have long jeans on. Also, the spiders love these trees and you can not see the webs unless you are facing certain directions, so you really have to pay attention.
