Another batch of trees in the ground
Winter is a time to purchase and plant trees. This year we have put in 110 new trees which has basically filled up the remaining available space.
Going forward it will mostly be shrubs or replanting specimens that don't survive.

Blackberries (Burning)
The blackberries are everywhere, their thorny runners creeping through the grass and climbing into trees.
With so many wild ones about, we don't need to grow any on the property. Id rather use the space for something more valuable.
