I spent the weekend planting my little section of the orchard. Terry tilled the soil and we removed a few large rocks. But for the most part the soil seems very good. It is soft and almost fluffy. On Sunday it was quite windy and it was hard to work without getting dirt in your eyes and mouth. I only lasted about an hour out there that day.
I planted over 100 plants last weekend. And today I got ground cloth and some organic herbicide. We’ll see how successful I am with keeping the weeds knocked down. I’m somewhat worried about how slippery the ground cloth will be. Hopefully I’ll be able to walk up and down the rows without breaking my neck.
The temperatures is supposed to get up to 90 degrees F this Friday/Saturday. I’m hoping that the new growth doesn’t get scorched.
More later.
