You need to get them in the ground, unless is frozen.

 Thank you!  What kind of spacing did you use, when planting?

That will give them plenty of room.  Out here, for reforestations purposes, we are required to plant on at least a 12' spacing.  For my job this year, we planted on an eight and ten foot spacing.

Farnk,

I asked since I tend to be a hardwood cutter and after 25-30 years it is just TSI work in an even age stand, but it has to be done!

Ok.  AS I mentioned in another thred, I had a group of FFA students come around on Wednesday for about 3 and a half hours.  What an experience. 

Anyway, they have offed to come backs next fall to help with any fill in that needs to be done on the Firs or Pines that may not make it for one reason or another. The "another" may be the number of dear hanging around right now.  Alice and the St. Bernard scared up 6 yesterday afternoon.  They have been talking to one another about the fresh plantings of Pine and Fir.  I NEED a crossbow! :angel: :angel: :angel: :angel:

Now the herd is a single family of one doe and three fawns.  They come right through the log yard and by the mill and sawdust pile, headed for a couple apple trees.
