    What's for dinner?

    I had some large flour tortillas, and no imagination. So I put some lunch meat in them, topped with cooked cauliflower and cheddar cheese. Fold and heat/cook in a fry pan. Served with a salad and a 2022 large can of refried beans. YUMMY!!!

    What did you do in your orchard today?

    We cut down an old apple tree. The main trunk was leaning, about 7" diameter, and had exactly ONE limb on it. Hubs planted a new type of apple to us, about 2 ft away from it. I need to look at the tag to remember the name.

    What did you do in your orchard today?

    Like you said, I looked up the instructions on my winter spray. Its too late for me. I'll fight the peach leaf curl another way, I suppose. The trees look so nice, since I had them professionally trimmed. What a good one that was!!
