New Orchard!

We've been planing a PYO orchard for several years now, and after all of the prep-work, which started in 2011, we've finally started planting our trees.  This year we're putting in about 800 trees and we've left some space for some different planting techniques next year.  We put in 7 varieties of trees that are a couple years old and well feathered (have branches). The planting has been going great, but the weather has pushed us back several times and we haven't completed our fence or our irrigation system. But overall, the project has been going very smoothly - as Sharon said, "we never have projects that run this smoothly." We should finish planting today if things continue to go smoothly.
