The plants seem to be doing pretty well with a few exceptions. The tea and one of the hazelnuts are most likely dead. Most likely, because it seems like the persimmon and the fig just leafed out a week or so ago. Caught Toklat peeing on the paw paw the other day. It has never looked like it was thriving and the wonder is perhaps he has been peeing on it for some time now. We have morning glory sprouts popping up all over the place. They’ve been agressively attacking the raspberries and we are out there every few days mechanically removing them, but they are outpacing us in sheer numbers of starts. Hit the persimmon with Tommy’s football by accident about a month ago and broke off the top two feet. Moved it to another spot in the yard and it’s growth accelerated. We have a long way to go, but are enjoying lots of lettuce, broccoli, chard and snap peas from the raised beds. Put an apple tree in the ground where the persimmon was from Bakerview Nursery. Jan’s Kiwi has taken off, but the hardy kiwis from the workshop are just doing so-so.
More soon.
