Wet, wet, wet in Central Missouri this week and if the weather guessers are right there’s more to come over the next few days. I was hoping to build some board fence this weekend but I think I’ll wait for things to dry up a bit before I start on that.
I mulched half of my yukon gold taters with wheat straw after work yesterday. I need another four bales to finish. I’ll pick those up at the feed store tomorrow morning.
Picked a few radishes today. The asparagus patch is going crazy. I’ve been picking every three days for the last three weeks. The cabbage/broccoli/cauliflowers that I set out a couple weeks ago are starting to look happy again. They weren’t very happy at first. I don’t think they’d been properly hardened off at the nursery.
I’m pleasantly surprised by the amount of fruit that’s set on my orchard trees. A couple of the plum trees got frosted and aren’t going to make anything, but the peaches and the nectarine are loaded. The apple and pear trees are super loaded.
Things are looking up.
I think we have some cherries. Only one of our apple trees survived, so there is no pollinator for the one that’s blooming. Some of the blueberry bushes are blooming, so crossing fingers.
