Quarantine is great for gardeners! We purchased 9 additional acres west of our place last year and are waiting to close on 3 more acres to the south. I’ve put in 10 peach trees in the last two days in addition to regular gardening. Got a pecan tree, 3 more peaches and 3 apricots left to put out. It’s raining this morning so freeping, having tea and loving this weather.

I got my fruit trees pruned a few weeks back, and yesterday afternoon I put granular fertilizer down for them all.

Plum, Cherry, Peach, Pear and Apple. I also dosed the Flowering Crab because I love her. (’Spring Snow’ blooms white, no fruit to mess with.)

Then, a LOVELY rain last night and light rain today. Lots of Earthworms heading for higher ground, so the Robins are VERY happy!

Tulips, Daffs, Rhubarb and Chives are all up.

It’s Happening, People! :)
