a long haul

This is our pit. Some people don't like it, some do. It's finally flat and ready for the trees and shrubs to be moved up here. So for the next two weeks, this is our project. It should be rather simple. BUT....
This is where the trees were put last year after they were planted. We had a temporary water system set up and they were supposed to be upfront last fall. Our plans didn't work out that way. One bonus is the weeds kept the plants shaded.So Jacob and I have been inching our way back little by little.We got roughly 300 moved today. With the poplars, we have to prune them as we go. Hopefully the other trees and shrubs won't take so long. There is still a big space to fill.

I guess I'm out of the loop - are you building a nursery?

I does look like you have a big space to fill!!

It looks better and better. When your done moving all the trees, you should find a picture from when Jake first started digging. I should come help for a few minutes.

So you will have to explain what you guys are doing exactly?? Looks like a HUGE job but it seems like Jake enjoys it?!
