Fertilizer Spikes

 On November 16, 2020... we put fertilizer spikes around the apple trees and pear trees, and also around the persimmon tree and the blueberry bushes. My hope is that the spikes will provide some needed nutrients and give a much needed boost to our orchard. Two of the apple trees and the pear trees were planted probably 3 years ago, but the deer got to them and did a-lot of damage.

Mowed The Future Homestead Again

 I have accepted the fact that this property is not yet a Homestead. So....I will refer to it as The Future Homestead. Anyway, we mowed the grass on November 9, 2020. I am so thankful that we aren't still contending with bushes and briars at this point. The regular mowing has helped put a stop to them for now. Of course, if we missed mowing for one season, I'm sure the bushes and briars would return and take over. I sure hope we can get enough money together to turn this property into a real Homestead. I am pretty much a hermit, and I enjoy the free-range-life that country living offers.
