I planted all the pear trees before lunch (nine: one fewer than I expected). It was a late lunch, but what a thrill: the pomes are all in the ground!
In the afternoon, I finished the rows of cherries. And got the John Deere tractor hopelessly stuck. I even had Jadon come and try to back it up while I pushed, but I had no success. Ah, well.
A few photos of the beautiful growing things.
The trees leafing out—it's spring!
The clover, planted on a bare hillside to keep the soil in place, is about to set seed. I don't remember if it's red clover or crimson clover, but it's sure beautiful!
Last November I planted a pancake patch. (Actually, I sowed some spelt on the ground where the pigs first plowed and turned over the soil.) As you may be able to see from the photo below, the left of the photo is weeds. The right is grass.
The "grass" came up so precisely where I sowed the spelt, I wondered if it could be spelt. But it certainly seemed just like regular grass. Until I noticed the seed heads. Looks like wheat—but this "wheat," the Lykoshes can eat. Spelt!
Finally, the beautiful form of growing hardneck garlic.
