Wonderful place and in future an important Arboretum.

Good luck and much power! I know sometimes it's hard work!

Hard fun, you mean. :-)
When I worked behind a desk at Boeing, I would work in my small yard when I came home for relaxation and exercise. Good for the body and mind.
Right, Ireena?
Looks like your soil is very good.
Mike

very nice area you have there..nothing to show? you have tons of great trees all around your property. I would kill for those.. it should turn out great

Thanks so much for taking the time to show us your beautiful land and plantings. I am looking forward to hearing about and seeing pictures as you go. Good work!!

Starting from a blank page probably provides the best opportunity to create a landscape the way you'd like to see it. I like how you've done your first plantings fairly high. In some parts of my yard, the trees were intentionally planted 12 to 18 inches high to allow for the placement of raised beds.

Impressive! You are out there adding choice conifers on that beautiful piece of land. How exciting to be able to put in anything your heart desires.

Great selections! You have a nice chunk of land to work with. Keep us updated. Love the dogs.

Hi Ireena!
All your time and effort you'll put into your piece of land now will result into a very nice Pinetum later!

I've been looking forward to this post, Ireena. You're doing a fantastic job with some gorgeous plants. I'll look forward to seeing the progress over time!

Hi Mike,

you are right. the better word is " hard fun". But when you are older and plant the whole day ,you have a lot of little aches and pains ( hope this is the right word) the next day. This I meant whith " hard work".

But "hard fun" is much better, I like it.

Wolfgang

What a joy to see your wonderful place evolve! Great shots!
