K and E Tree Farm

Not Christmas trees but still trees on our farm. Today I tackled our small patch of Wilamette Valley Ponderosa Pines with the mower! Several photos I added arrows to, to show how tall the grass is🤪

I added the distant photo of our Noble Fir stand just because they looked pretty with the sun lightly touching their blue needles.

Still so much mowing to do but I feel like I might actually be getting a handle on it🤞

I just had thee BEST delivery driver EVER deliver a small HD package!! I admit, when the personal truck was first pulling up, I thought....um, what the heck is that? Then is saw it!! On the back window in large PINK letters it read "Gambler 500"! For those of you who have never hear of Gambler 500, I thought I knew what they were about until I "quizzed" Lisa.

Gambler 500 is a group of people all across the US who meet up, drive to pre-selected campsites and from there, they walk through the woods picking up trash left behind by the lazy folks who can't seem to pack out what they pack in.

What Gambler 500 does is right up my alley with tree farming. Here at K and E Tree Farm we do our absolute best to not waste any part of the trees that are cut down. We recycle and re-use everything we can.

Lisa is a mother of 4 grown children who supports this crazy good lifestyle by door dashing, delivering for Home Depot and etc.

I hope she's not late delivering her next item, I may have taken up a bit of her time with my excitement hearing about what she does and how she supports it!

To say I am behind in mowing is an understatement! We literally had ZERO winter and the grass/clover is thrilled!!

Here at K and are Tree Farm, even though I have a LOT of catch up work to do, I much prefer mowing to using herbicides (chemicals) to control the grass!!

It is going to take a day….or ten to get this field under control. All while other fields I have mowed already need mowing again.

Honestly not complaining! I love it here and mowing is Instant gratification❤️❤️

Yesterday was the perfect day to mow the Grand Stand! Of course, I had to add a few cloud pics (the moon is in one of them). Ruben sat out this one as supervisor. He’s not a fan of how loud the mower is.

First, a disclaimer. I am NOT a selfie kind of gal but am posting one of these pics anyway due to the importance it has to both Eric and I.

We here at K and E Tree Farm have more than Christmas trees! We also have timber trees and are part of the WA tree farm program.

Several months ago Elizabeth contacted me to let me know we have not only been re-certified, (with flying colors), but they also have a new to us sign available. Ummmm, yes please!!

What you are looking at is All recycled material (I.e., free sign minus my amazingly talented husband’s labor)!!

Eric Bernard sketched out what he wanted the sign to look like. Built it using all recycled materials and voila - perfection! Thank you, Eric!❤️❤️

When you need to give your back a break from planting and your Iris bed is full of nasty grass!!
I know this isn’t the right time of year to dig them up but I swear they are indestructible so here goes!
And yes, supervisor Ruben was on duty even though this is a different job❤️❤️

In light on my final day of planting trees (don't worry, so much more to do now that this is done), I found this article very fitting. This is just one of the reasons why I love it here so much!!

The day has finally arrived! I planted my final Coast Redwoods today! My faithful supervisor, Ruben was with me the whole time. He sure enjoys inspecting the freshly planted trees. I’m sure the dirt is cool on his belly.

Still hard at work planting trees. Today, I/we focused on transplanting our very own homegrown Noble Fir from our nursery. Today, I had not one but TWO supervisors!! Mr. Ruben, of course as well as the "E" of K and E Tree Farm.❤️❤️❤️
