Got all the plants and trees in yesterday, got most of the trees in the ground. Couldn't figure out where 2 of them should go so I'll be doing those by hand later.

These are mostly mocked up so I can figure out where to plant them. Let me know your thoughts.

A lot of overgrowth, other things to clean up in the background. Wood chips are next and then next year we'll do it all over again until it's fully covered!

Looks like I can only upload one picture with the post so I'll throw more in the comments.

Lol there may be some in the back but my hope is to drown them out with trees

I'm in the humid subtropics. If there is any grass by Year 3, I'm very hard on myself. Basically since we are a naturally forested state, pasture grass should be dead, or close to, by then.

It means we have to use a lot of trees as the exotic grasses are very persistent.

Good luck.

Sounds like we have similar game plans, thanks!
