As I need to get to the "Gulch" to even open the box of the canner, I'll bookmark that so I can figure out what it even means! LOL!

Expect a few questions from this old pole walker when I finally get out there and USE the 921~! Guess I better get something from the food merchants to test it out with... as harvesting from a garden that at this point is but a dream is a few months out!

Restraining surges of envy about those fruit trees you scored! I need to score some fruit trees that will survive the zone 4 winters... lots, and lots, of research to do on this move... and I'm enjoying every second of it!

Most varieties of Apples
Cherries
Hazelnuts
Pembina and Black Plums (Prunus nigra does best, and is a good pollinator for other plums)
There is an Apricot variety hardy to Zone 3a
Saskatoon berries
Josta berries
Black and Red Currents
Gooseberries
Concord Grapes
Raspberries
Blackberries
High-bush Cranberries
High-bush Blueberries

All those are good for Zone 4

Brrrrr -20º F to -30º F I gave that up when I left managing freezer storage..... Frostbite to fingertips to where now cold weather and they turn white in no time... Wood Stove sittin time.....LOL
