I have a problem...

[roymunson]

May even need an intervention...

We bought 4 acres in 2016 to build a house on. We've since built the house and are getting established. I lined the driveway with some October Glory maples last night (side note, 2-3" caliper tree trunks are no joke to move around and try to get a decent sized hole for)

but I did some counting, so far, this is what we've planted

18 Norway Spruce
6 October Glory Maples
13-5-8' maples that my son started from helicopters 2 years back
4- assorted pears
3- assorted apples
4- Dunstan chestnuts
1-lilac tree (her flower beds)
1- weeping cherry (her flower beds)

This is just at the house, not counting the hunting land.
Also is not counting some oaks i'm trying to get from acorns, and some DNR pines and sawtooths I planted as seedlings a couple years ago.

My wife thinks I have a sickness

Sounds like you have your addiction completely under control.

You could always be doing drugs instead!

 

[scott44]

I don't see a problem with your problem.

 

[gunfun13]

What did you plant the other half of the day?

 

[Headdigger]

Looks like it's time to buy four more acres.

Give her a big kiss, and maybe she will get the sickness too! You don't lack for ambition Roy.

 

[Prof.Kent]

Yeah yeah yeah... people said Picasso was sick too, but look what he did...
OK, I could have used a better example.
JUst keep planting until she comes around.
If she's anything like my wife it might take a few decades but eventually you'll wear her down.

Only problem I see is,
no honeyberries on list.

I think he needs about a dozen different varieties of crab apples.

Yes, you have a serious problem. You didn't plant any crab apples, persimmons, chinkapins, plums or blackberries. But there is hope for the future....

That'll be for out at the hunting property...

I may need to get on that crab bus and ride it for a while.

I do have 1 dolgo at the land... We'll see where that goes.

When we all arrive at your house to give you advice, just tell your wife that we are that group of great uncles and cousins that you didn’t know about.

How mad does she really get?

She does whatever I say. And whatever I say, goes.

[BuckSnort]

I told my wife I wouldn’t buy any rootstock this year. A month later, “Honey, it was such a good deal I just couldn’t pass it up!”

I keep telling my wife how much money the kids will make selling roadside and farmer's markets. Problem is they'll be outta college before I produce my 1st bushel of fruit.
