The fruit tree's have all came to life and are looking good, a few black speckles on some of the pear leaves, but I think its some sorta of bug. We also planted a couple apple trees ( a Gala and a Red Delicious)
about a 1/3 of the pecans & walnuts have sprouted leaves. I'll leave them all in the ground till summer to see if any more make it.
My cypress trees that I received from the arbor society are all doing well except for a few that I didn't get in the ground soon enough. we had a freeze after I planted them and I thought we lost them but they have all re-sprouted and are starting to get bigger. great deal on tress from them Arbor Day society
My wife and I also visited a Olive orchard were impressed so we bought 20 olive trees of several varieties ( 6 Mission, 6 Pendolio, 8 Arbequina). they'll take about 4 years before they produce except for the Pendolio's that take 7 years.
and lastley for now, the Garden is almost completely planted. we broke down and bought a tiller and it works great. ( we got the rear tine cub cadet from home depot... (used a 10% coupon). We already have lots of sprouts, corn, beans, peas, okra, carrots, radishes, potatoes, strawberry's, asparagus and more.
till next time...
