Busy busy busy! Much to do and much to be done! I've planted another 10 blueberries, 5 currants, 5 black raspberries and 4 fruit trees. I also have cleared the weeds from about 1/2 of my orchard and mulched the trees. I've also got 4 of the 6 rows in my garden bed planted. As for today I have a fence to start and two gates to repair. I'm just a hobby farming fool!
I got a red bartlett pair and a 20th century asia pear yesterday but had a little accident with the asia pear. The top snapped off it! I think the tree will pull thru and I'm trying to root the top. So far it looks to be working so I might just get a second pear out of this. I also planted a gardenia in the orchard. My moms favorite flower so I thought I would add some. I'll be taking cuttings to add some more too.
I purchased a bulk lot of 40 everbearing strawberries as well. Once they arrive I will be planting them among my grapes. I've also got goji berries germinating and a few other goodies for the garden including some sea buckthorn seeds. Pictures soon to come.
