Planting time on the homestead

It wasn't easy to get the money together for the forest restoration project, but we did and it was the right thing to do. We planted 1000 long leaf pine trees, 50 wild plums and 50 wild Persimmon trees. Thank You, Frank and Sal for your hard work help planting all the trees. These 3 tree types were very important to the Native Americans that had their homesteads here for thousands of years and we are happy to be a part of trying to reestablish them back here. Now back to clearing, tilling and planting the rest of the garden, the greens that Reed and Kat planted are ready to start eating, and the chickens are laying more eggs than we can eat. The goats will be having their babies next month and that means fresh milk, butter and cheese.
