so far so good!!!
finger crossed and an eye to the long range weather forecast
if all holds,we should have a good yr for pears, plums,peaches and apples!
a lot of blooms on all of those trees right now and not a cold night in the forecast
if it goes good, this will be the first yr we will have all trees and bush fruits producing
--------------
got my "hardy kiwi" plants planted too!
built a simple arbor for them--a necessity that needs to be pretty large if you want the vines to grow properly--last year and got the plants in today
if all goes well, we will have some nice kiwi berries in about 4-5 yrs
also found some cold hardy Passion fruit seeds. grew a large vine last yr, just waiting to see just how "cold hardy" they actually were. seeing if it come back to life this yr! will be nice to have fresh passion fruit too
planted a couple of good sized,started thornless blackberry plants today too. have them mixed in with some 'cultivated' wild blacks berries and wild black raspberries
our goal is to have nothing less then a fruit and veg section on the vine/tree/bush in our yard in the next 5 yrs!!!
