Rest After a Productive Day

Met the Bountiful Backyards folks to finish some planting. Added an Indian Blood Peach, Green Gage Plum and two JuJuBe's. Sprayed all the plants with some Worm Compost Tea. Turned the compost pile, painted the orchard gate.

Then relaxed. Too early for anything to be blooming except this beautiful perennial.

Thirst Things First

Critical equipment installed. Two bottle openers. One by the dock at the lake. Another across the way in the orchard.

Growing Food for the Food We're Growing

Time to start making our own compost. Built bins to try several methods. One a traditional pile compost out at the orchard. Simple moveable design. Will be adding another unit like this to age a neighbor's horse manure. The other is a worm bin for kitchen scraps at home. Fattening some red wigglers we can use for fishing later on.

Rainy Season

Simple weather station installed. Mainly for watering management.

Winter's Back

What's in fashion in Orchardwear this season.
