The Lady Slippers are in full bloom now. Marissa counted over 140 in out BRC orchard.

TODAY IN THE ORCHARD

Today Laura and I sprayed all the fruiting trees on the farm with Surround, refined clay powder. We mixed it with Regalia and Grandivo. The primary purpose of Surround is to deter Plum Curculio. It was a beautiful morning to be out in the orchards and the spraying took about 5 hours. Later Laura made a new batch of plant teas to be sprayed next week, and I spent about 6 hours weeding and watering the 2023 and 2024 young grafted trees. It was a long day, but the nursery is looking pretty spiffy. Many wild plants are flowering now throughout the farm.
