High Speed Posting

The first acre is almost planted, need to see Paul about the second.  HTH am I going to manage two acres, go to market, supply a sporting camp and a store and sleep?  Seedlings are almost sold out.  Whatever doesn’t sell this weekend is going in the ground or compost pile.  Did I say the ducklings went home? They did, except the two I kept.  Steve’s on a mission – trap the snapping turtle.  Now that he’s home to see her often she’s become real in his mind.  “She” because Taylor found where she’s been digging.  I haven’t been over to see if she’s laid eggs yet.  If she has, they’re going.  One snapper is too many.

The apple and cherry crops will be pathetic this year. One apple tree blossomed well, thankfully my favorite tree, but the rest were sparse or not at all.  The cherries are sparse.  I don’t know why.

My question on managing two acres this summer?  Steve starts an interim job as a forester for a logging company Monday.  It might become permanent, we’ll see what happens at Domtar.  I’m on my own this summer for the most part.

  4. Whew! Going to be awfully busy this summer I’m thinking!

  5. We had a very poor blossom set down here in Southern Maine, too. Trees that were loaded with blossoms last year showed only the merest scattering of petals. Very disappointing, as I have three young apple trees from which I was hoping to taste first fruits this year. Maybe the trees are all worn out from a couple of really good harvest years?
