Yesterday I moved from 5 gallon bucket in north facing window of my non-heated garage to my garden. I have good manure/compost soils. I spent time on a 48” wide aluminum window screen tent. My garden is already fenced with welded wire. This is more for hail. Today was like 45 degrees and rainy...

These things are going crazy. They only look yellow because my headlights are on them. They are nice and green, all pinched down to a single shoot. Just not comfortable moving outside yet. Hopefully they handle the transplant shock. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I won’t move these until early May. I do feel the transplant from this bucket to nursery is when they are super vulnerable to shock. In the past I look for ideal conditions, past the cold, but avoid the heat. No direct sun. Plenty of watering. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Getting some movement ! Kept them in dark basement for about a month. Just moved to garage, north facing window. Because I didn’t have enough trees as it is ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am about 90% b118, the rest are m111, pear or plum. (1) m7. The trees I grated this spring were m111. Wanted more diversity but historically everything b118. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Our whole farm is pure sand, so we do not have any choice. It's either push the limits or don't plant at all, clearly, I'm pushing the limits :) I would not recommend plastic in any other conditions, but we have seen it hold moisture in a good way. Did you use pea gravel on top of the...

In sand country, this planting process has worked out well for us. As you can see, we don't have dirt or soil we have pure sand. Thankfully it rained a ton overnight so there is as much moisture in the ground at time of planting. Each tree we amend the hole with 3 bags of composted manure...

Make sure you go give them a terrible review on google or the likes. That’s BS for sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Still brewing following Ben’s recipe. However I’m ready to add sugar and bottle it. Probably after spring break though. I do have pristine and trailman, and Franklin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just had to do a few more. It felt good to get the knife back in my hand. I went to the farm yesterday and planted (1) Court Pendu Plat I grafted a few years ago that I still had in my garden. A nice little tree. I still have about 25 trees in my nursery at the farm which will probably wait...

I should be able to grab you some spartan and dolgo. Pruning on Saturday stay tuned. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
