Adding to the Orchard – 2012

My orchard will be 18 trees when it’s finished. This will take three years to accomplish. Last year I planted six trees and just this week I have prepared for six more. Next winter I will finish it off with the last six.

I added irrigation to make watering all those trees a bit easier.

Here is a video describing how I prepared the next six planting sites.

My Little Gardeners

I don’t ask my kids to help me much in the garden.  It’s kinda my thing.  However, it looks like they are learning something anyway!  My youngest daughter put together her own garden using materials on hand.

She knew she needed a fence so she got one of the pieces of fencing that we had used for keeping chickens out of a flower garden.  She wanted it to be a “raised bed” so she surrounded it with rocks.  Compost is important so she raided my compost heap.  Somehow she knew that it would be best to layer it with hay and wait for spring for it all to “become the best dirt”.

Best of all she knows that Goat Poop is Garden Gold!  I found that very funny.  I know I haven’t ever used that term.

Enjoy a video of her showing off her little garden.
