Cold fall and winter.

IMAGES

Well, the land was cleared last October but we felt the ground needed more preparation.  The thickness of all the growth will take a longer time to break down.  The replacement trees arrived and are in our container orchard, along with the survivors from the last batch.  They were dormant through the winter and we hope to see growth this spring!

We purchased some ground cover plastic, as well as fencing for preparation of the individual tree sites.  We will try to limit weed growth and deer attacks.

We will have more tilling done this spring (very soon!) and have the soil tested to see what we may need to add when planting.
