Ohhh Daxy-boy what I could do with that much space! lol... Plenty of areas for you to fill in as well - I'm simply quite jealous of your space and moderate conditions there. Sounds like your summers encourage excellent growth with both your warm and wet weather.

You've basically created what will one day be an arboretum.

Keep up the hard work.

Will - I think I could squeeze a few of your plants in, just joking!

I'm getting nervous that I'm running out of room. I suppose the upside is that I'll get to sit back and watch it all grow.
There aren't that many more spots for trees. Maybe another 50 full-sized trees, and then the process of actually gardening the land will become, available... the planting of dwarfs and miniatures in defined settings. Everything now had absolutely no plan, except, I created my backyard first planting Picea omorika 'Gotelli Weeping' and my first tree on the front side of my house was a Pinus contorta var. lat. 'Chief Joseph'. I then just kept building around these. The seedlings I planted all in about 250 have absolutely no rhyme or reason.

It's been fun.

Great to see those plants taking hold!

Thanks sluice-juice.

Dax

Dax I can't believe how much space you have. Wait till those cultivars-seedlings/ mixed-plantings all grow up. Wow. A bit jealous and yet I'd hate to mow all that grass. HA.

Heeeeheeehee, now I understand your joke better!
Circles help. Photos from yesterday after I finally took this place back under control.... been spraying Roundup for the past few weeks. Cuts about 3.25 hours off my mowing time reducing it to five hours and 45 minutes.

The other five big areas of my property are virtually impossible to photograph though I haven't tried using a panoramic function & I'd likely need a jumbo ladder. ...These three photos only show about 1/2-1/3 of the amount of property in that particular area. Behind that hill I'm planting an orchard of: apples, plum, apricot, peaches, and cherries. There's also a big Dawn Redwood planting and more conifer-seedlings.

"five hours and 45 minutes" of lawn mowing ???!!!!!

.....holy @#%&*% !!

....I like Roundup -- but to you it must be God itself !

You're right, Roundup is as valuable as Oil 'round here.

Dax

lol Dax 5:45 of mowing!! Mine's the same only that's minutes and seconds not hours and minutes!(LOL).

You should get a push mower, one of those old school ones with just the blades - You'd be in better shape then Lance Armstrong. lol

I'll bet he can't drink as much Budweiser as I can. I'll surely pass him up on my mower, he'll be too tired to drink.
