Any Yoopers?

Build a workshop and a more permanent greenhouse structure. Invest the rest in a CD for 6-months to a year, spend some on expanding my garden. Reinvest in CD. Repeat each year to keep expanding... but not going overboard... literally it will be too much for me if I expand too quickly.

We live in the UP of Michigan and are about 1000 ft above Lake Superior. Our property is mostly trees but when we get some strong winds I worry about our homestead, we have already had some damage from winds from poor planning from previous owners of the property... like 2x2 posts (an odd size for sure) for a wind fence next to our gas meter.

The trees don't do much for wind protection and we have several garden beds and a few ground trellises for climbers.

Any recommendations? I know fences are an option but not quite sure we want to go that route.

I also noticed some trees swaying a lot more than the others and not sure if I should be concerned.
