While Ian apparently runs a used japanese car lot from his front yard, we’ve been busy with the task of preparing the orchard and veggie garden for the summer season. I’m hell bent on no getting behind the curve this year. So the weekend was spent pruning trees. The heritage apples take some skill but they are done and the filberts are ready to roll as well. I think this year will be the year of tree removal. I have number of trees that need to come out to make space for others to grow. Ah well at the rate trees grow around here its an ongoing issue.
