    asparagus

    Supposed to harvest April through May, it's March 17th, so about 2 weeks ahead of schedule. Martha Washington has a sweet nutty taste and is way different than store-bought. My opinion... Martha Washington grown from seed is most definitely worth the effort, it's what I remember asparagus...

    What did you do in your orchard today?

    2024 grafted peaches, I believe I'm done grafting peaches this season. We'll set out the takers in the orchard this fall. Learning to graft is the most cost effective way I know of to get a orchard established. Jesus is Lord and Christ ✝️

    What did you do in your orchard today?

    Last night, tank and I grafted pear scions I harvested back in February onto Pyrus OHxF97 rootsocks. I purchased the rootstocks from Fedco last season and babysat them over the growing season. We grafted 6 varieties of pears. I believe we did a good job but we'll have to wait and see. The...

    Any ideas what breed of chicken this is? Look at the gray legs and gray and tan toes. They sing pretty songs. It's time to move them out of the brooder. Jesus is Lord and Christ ✝️

    Big Storm Looks Severe

    We are under tornado watch (not warning). We had some very high winds and a little thunder and large rain drops roll through. Looks worse north of us on the radar. I hope everyone stays safe and is OK. Jesus is Lord and Christ ✝️

    What did you do in your orchard today?

    I checked the remaining peach grafts that have not broke bud yet. I checked by cutting a ultra thin flap of bark to expose the cambium layer on the grafted scions. All the scions' cambium layer is still green. This a great sign and means all the scions are all still alive, so there is still...

    What did you do in your orchard today?

    Its been two weeks since peach rootstock had been grafted. 7 of 12 grafts took, that's approximately 58%. Three more are showing promise, but haven't broke bud yet, so they don't count. I'll see if I can find some scions out of the orchard and re-graft, if not then I'll baby sit the rootstocks...

    Gravel Driveway Weedkiller?

    Torch followed by a box blade is common practice around here. Once you initially burn, then scrape the weeds out. It's just regular scheduled maintenance with a box blade to keep the driveway smooth, rut and weed free. Jesus is Lord and Christ ✝️

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    FB's roses needed more dirt. So off come the mulch, then the weed fabric, add dirt, replace weed fabric and mulch. I felt a sweat bead roll down into my eye. :D tank is passed out, tearing top soil bags is hard work for a pup. Jesus is Lord and Christ ✝️
