If I remember correctly:
Soil $250
Pots $ 50
Pepper. $ 35
Fuel. $ 25. Maybe
Call it 150 trees (was more than that but some croaked and a few were given away) and $360 in costs…..
$2.40 per tree.
Pepper was squirrel deterrent.
Oh yeah, add a bag of 13-13-13 also.
I will be dead before they come of size but the farm will have the trees!!!!

Got two brothers coming to assist this weekend.
Some rain in forecast.
Hope to get 100+ more trees planted.
Will run out of blue tubes and will have to use some white, slotted tubes that we had on the pear trees a few years back. Not sure they will work as good but better than nothing, I think.
These trees will all be on our little 57 acres.

Thanks for everything, brother!
We have some trees that are about 4 now and are starting to crown.
Maybe with no late frosts and another year or two, they can start to produce.
Good rain coming behind our planting this weekend and the ones I planted last weekend so hope they get a decent re-start being in the ground now.
Glad yours are doing great!

Nicely done Mr Jim. Looks like an eager group of helpers you got there, better feed em good this evening.
It is nice to see your improvements to the property in the few short years you have had it, lots of work in such a short period of time. Thanks for allowing us to follow along.
You may not see all the fruit of the labor that you have endured improving the property but the satisfaction you have now should fill your heart and soul with great sense of accomplishment.
