Apple Orchard 3 and Gardening too.
Well, the orchard is in, except for the missing 6th tree that we are waiting for. I hope we did everything correctly. We just followed the instructions that came with the trees, pretty simple really. We added some tree and shrub fertilizer/soil to some of the soil and they came with 3 fertilizer tablets each as well. My son now has a daily watering chore....except for the past two rainy days. We had to go out and purchase a super-long hose. I was hoping we could find a pump to put in our pond to irrigate from there, but I think that is another project.
Since it has been raining I see weeds creeping into my pristine garden plot! There are also some things coming up volunteer. Looks like it could be some Borage - an excellent companion plant with tomatoes, and maybe some pumpkins or squash, it's hard to tell yet. We buy pumpkins from Stamp Farms each year and last year we got some of our own in the garden from dumping the previous year's rotten ones in there. We still bought some big ones from Stamps though....we love the Stamps. A wonderful homeschooling farm family here in RI. If I have to purchase any seedlings that is where I will buy them. I got my Borage there too.
If it's nice tomorrow I will go out and weed. I trudged out into the rain yesterday and harvested a few more asparagus shoots....yummy.
