TODAY IN THE ORCHARD
Recent art from Bee Mixter (age 4)
Laura and Jacob came over, and we cut scionwood together for Fedco throughout the farm orchards. They may return for more wood at some point but, for now, it appears as though all the wood for Fedco is cut. We were able to do some pruning along the way, especially on some of the larger trees. The most popular cultivars were Hewe’s Virginia Crab, Wickson and our very own Pipsqueak. It was a cold morning (-12F) but warmed up quickly.
Today we begin a series in the orchard report. My apple class students wrote Haiku poems on their last day of class. We’ll feature some of the most fun periodically over the course of the next few weeks.
