TODAY IN THE ORCHARD

Today we cleaned up after the Wassail. The rain washed away the snow, providing an opportunity to do some much needed nursery work. I was able to reset the landscape fabric between the rows of one-year-old grafted trees and new seedlings. I also put on some tree-guards that got missed back in November. We may receive our first large snow tonight. February is just around the corner. The days will be clear, cool and bright. It will be time to don the sunglasses and spend many glorious hours in the orchards pruning the trees and collecting scionwood.
