local business man wants to buy this machine

 Look what Jason has,he wants to buy this machine and is offering deals on stump removal along with his tree service.Now is the time to HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE!As a community we choose our local business persons by giving them our money =support.Call now to help ensure a hard working man has the tools to do what needs to be done,besides its a great way to get rid of trashy stumps.

During all of that Jerry drilled me some holes for my monday tree shipment,which is coming refrigerated.I may be hiring help for a day which is unusual for me but,my duties are at home as well.I have been holding out for a rain day and now I may have to start watering.

Didnt do much today

Moved some tanks and palnted a fig and persimmon at my home along with a few paw-paw's.Marked out the lots,now all that remains is to mark individual tree posisition.It was too windy today,besides I had a chance to finally help someone else out for a change.As little as I did ,any help is help.

the cleanup continues with some beautification

I placed some flowers around the water feature in hopes to encourage frogs to hang around.

I had to remove an enemy flag.

For the festival a TP and a LIEN

Its big,but its all natural,non permanent,and easily disposed of.It will most likely be covered in sorgum grass,when the festival is over it will burn easily.Sounds like a good reason to have a harvest festival.Party party nah.I  however would partake in such things for my  love of beer and fire.
Many of you may not understand everything I am doing,good.I have never seen so much trafic as I did today on New Street.I call that increased tourism,or inner township public relations.I havent built the lien yet,butill get there.

Making split rail,well maybe later.

 Not nearly as hard as it would seem,would love to try cherry.

 Still need to cut funny split areas,I used the chainsaw but an axe would work out great.Cant wait to try to make some box beams out of my buddies timber!

Fun as it was,time to do other things.I will be drinking bear on site one of these nights,that will help with the splitting and the pain.Remember trees are coming soon.

Blue Jay makes trees Go Away

I got to operate the bucket truck while Jason notched and fell the trees(I gave them a little push).In just a few hours Jason took down all of it.He has helped me since I moved to this town and recommend him to anyone.Be patient he is busy.

yeh movies are getting easier to upload

This is the city block we now own and will be packing trees on the end piece that was a gift(80 lambert cherry trees) and the rest of the area will be some fun activities as well as lots of trees and edible landscaping(I hope to build a few TP's for the festival) that is if we have time for the festival and or monies.

Tree list

20 rainier.80 lambert.10earlyberlat.36montmorency all giesla 5 root stock.
10 sam.5 glacier on mazzard rootstock

plum trees include 10 yellow egg .13brooks.10 beauty.10 victory

I was hoping to order more but I am afraid I will be too busy to handle this order,they have to be potted or planted quickly.It may just be me out there,and I seem to be getting slower as I get more spread out.Still BHCO has nearly doubled in size in just a few short months.More importantly we were given our first property,and we are all still united in our ability to continue making a difference.Why isnt someone coming forward for bee keeping.I am contacting the paper tomorrow and offering help to anyone who will keep bees,If If IF I can get the proper response from my father in law and his bee connection.I will also research the introduction of the butterfly and or other cool stuff but time is short so creative and standard are in competition.By the way Im building a TP if not more than one for fun because I can. Well at least I hope to give it a good try,just for the fun of it.and when I am done with the TP I will try a homemade split rail fence(or during TP construction) why you ask.....Why not

Farm assement questionaire

BHCO now holds title to approx 78,199 square feet of orchard space=1.795202020 acres.I dont want to add up the cost per acre because I will have chest pains.I am just finishing the paperwork for farm status and I had an opportunity to round a lot of paperwork for the fire safe in the process.Now all that is left is to make photocopies and send it in the mail.It was a little messy but informative(that is what paperwork is about).

wow tree man was snowed in today

The nursery I bought the trees in had snow today but were able to get me trees.Same with the mushroom folks,15lbs of wine cap mushroom mycellia to be delivered soon for my edible landscape project,snow today for them as well.When I receive the trees and mushroom culture I will share the name of both,until then I will stick to the paranoid side of things as the last four nurseries backed out.I went deep into "why"with this nursery and was met with great news.
My man Chad was able to secure some dirt ,his father in law Frank was able to store the pond covers and his brother  helped me get things put away.Jason from Bluejay cut down the trees as I pulled them to the side(I even got a chance to operate his boom truck)and I cried yesterday about having no help,what a baby on one hand and we need more help on the other!
I would love to post some pics but the camera is dead for a while.Tomorrow will be a new day.

Fish ahoy!!!

I put a few minnows in each water tank to get the bacteria cycle started,minnows fetched by me and Wilson>He was navigator and I was entertainment with the latest internet news,some quite crazy.We get them from a small town called Victoria,what a beautifully kept bait shop,complete with family in the store.Those type of places are what made America great.Not bratty out of control kids that caused the collapse,good family paid the price.I dont think its fair to say it was a bad apple only because fruit doesnt know any better, we do.A great Cherokee chief Known as Red Crow once said that the tree needed to breath in what we exhale and we breathe in what the tree exhales,therefore we are connected to the tree.Please research Red Crow on you tube for yourself,he was a wise man who makes me both proud to be a slice Cherokee and ashamed for not exploring it more deeply,or have the respect for all things which was the Indian way.They were not savages,that is what they taught us so we could swallow genocide.When we are the target of genocide and those Indian warriors will surely rise to protect us,at least those that are not extinct or are off the path due to us.
Wow I didn't see that coming, I guess I am embracing my heritage as I see what I thought was my heritage turn into something I cant understand,you don't see it?The more I try to hide my absolute hatred of the opposition I encounter,the harder it is for me to keep my mouth shut.I am starting to think I am alone in this fight and I cant understand why I continue on many days.If I didn't have friends I would be crazy overwhelmed,I borrow more stuff than most people will never have the chance to even use,cool stuff.Those people are making this possible,where is everyone else?I need help with that paperwork and another officer,don't worry if you have no experience,why would you do the same thing twice when you can do something new and fun like form a charity?If it is because of my beliefs,then ok.Although I used to believe completely different ,I'm in.Oh crazy,nah you wish!Rich,not at all.Stop making excuses,things may not be what you think they are,they may be much more important!
Again I am amaazed!I am going to end this post with a prayer that I am doing the wright thing by allowing this post to be published.I can hardly keep silent any longer,and why should I .Overall I may have recieved 1,000 dollars or so and tore up 500 in checks,I have spent about 35,000 and rising== controlling share on my part.So my family structure is standing idle while I spend my life savings to do something  that is causing so much resistance and stressing me to the max.I wonder why I continue to work so hard when I see a future so crazy,Maybe what I am doing is good,but GOD hired the wrong guy.Maybe your the wright guy?

Tree shortages are good news!

Finally after many yeah we have them oh sorry we are out,power games over I found trees!I talked to some experts and have a new strand of rootstock that "dwarfs" a tree by 60%,and then you can prune back to one third the size.Ex 30 ft tree-60%-one third= really do your own math I gave you the formula!This nursery charged me "whip" price for everything and I paid full royalties undisputed for the patented varieties.The trees will be about 2 grand with another 300 in royalties and shipping will soon be added.Way cheaper and from Washington so they do very well in cooler climates.I hope to have them by the end of the week.

got late on saturday(black water removal)

 bucketed all the water out and then cleaned the 3 tanks with a big sponge,got done with help at about 8.

 Added a little water(city water)with help from Wilson and Franks water tank.

Whal la!Ready for water plants and some cheap fish to get the proper bacteria cycle started.

I stand my ground 1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_Wu_4uLorg

and the beat goes on

 Maybe 6 bushel baskets full of broken glass is all that remains,yae!

Aprox 1 and a half tons of broken glass and plastic,look at all the tires(I think instead of charging 3 dollars to get rid of tires,a new method is needed)These have rims so I was able to give them away.They will be trailer tires,and then disposed of.It was a long day on Jackson Street site.

We should call this Union Street site

This lot was as close to free as you can get.It should be "located" by tomorrow morning,which will allow me to re dig the ditch a little so the water will shed properly.Also there is a hump that could be removed and used elsewhere.nearly 100 trees will be planted in this 50 by 200 foot area.
But for now I got to get that "victory"garden in,and meet up with Blue Jay(Jason)to get those trees down,11 total?

 This is what I am starting with ,yes that is broken glass.

  I didnt get the dump site cleaned up ,but I got to it and that is a start.Chad the mower man has tilled up some strips for a garden.It is going to big and rocky.Also got the ok from Ed the neighbor to keep trailer in his yard until I can get the area cleaned up.
Called in a locate for all 6 lots so we can do some ditch clearing and tree planting.
Here is Peanut helping to guard the ground hog hole.Its amazing the bottles these guys kick out of their dens while they are digging their home.

Jackson Street

BHCO now owns 1thru 5(the letter is regarding1-4 was seperate than 5) as well as lot 8, all contained on block 11.

This was a go because no harm could come of it and it cuts down on the paperwork.In the future however,the lot can be resplit just as easy if say a village was built on 1,2and 3.This would allow a different tax structure.Its good to plan ahead.

here is the seed

The very tiny are the red clover the other is oat.The rest you gleam from the photo.A very small amount of dry fertilizer was used on the freshly buldozed ground,one pound in 200x150 area.I wish i would have worn a mask even with the straw.

done, just in time for the rain?

Simple right.Now we are rocken with a little red clover,oat and grass.Try stretching two bales of straw across 150 by 200,still cost 200 bucks .

again with the picking up of the rocks

All day long with the picking up of the rocks,enough already.Done!
I also got the oat seed down,yes I said oat.>One layer oat seed >one layer grass seed>one layer red clover.
The oat will germinate quickly to protect the grass and the clover will remain hidden for its first year or two.All this covered with a light rake and dusting of dry fertilizer covered with straw ,ought to do it.
good times

It hurts...

It hurts in so many places in so many ways,I could have wrote a folk song about it...wait I did because it was so boring picking up rocks all day,and painful even with the help of an arm extension thing. It as if I have aged a hundred years in just one.I could get used to being out there all day every day though.The sun warms you and your mind listens as your only other task, no matter how painstaking, fade, as thoughts and daydreams propel your mind into what you are creating and how free you are to be doing what you are doing.Each one of us have the power to change the world and now is the time.BAAM who has the time,who has the money,I have been supplying what I can but now I need help.I think I need help physically more than financially, of course one begets the other,as A lot needs to happen in a short time(oh yea I think I should have something on hog days as well,so think of blossom festival as a dry run).I really want to build a small village on Jackson.Now, out of the trees I need to take down.I gotta go ,my body hurts just thinking about it.

Things have been working out But it seems the timing is off

I found a supplier that I can purchase 100 North Star cherry 3' for April delivery(they will hold them in the cooler until shipping so they stay dormant).When I recieve them I have a spot for 80 trees as an orchard of its own on the gifted land on Jackson street,20 can be gifted to the local cause.These are small trees but will handle a transplant easier,after a good soak in superthrive.The good news is that there seems to be a bigger than normal run on fruit trees,unless its a selling tactic,I prefer to think of it as more persons"joining in" as edible landscaping seems to be catching on.

Jackson Street site NEW

I guess I was proud of the sign and not what you could see as far as Identifying the lot.Hey it was a moment,besides I took a video which is currently being loaded onto youtube.Its funny how ridiculesly idiotic I appear to be on lots of my youtube stuff but its me in all my variations,I just dont communicate well at all,and never have. Im also always on the verge of overwhelmed almost as if its by choice,It seems I get done "more than the average bear"with this approach. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur5AeQ1383c

every where I look

Wasted space is all around us.Food should be abundant and could be with your help.Im not advocating a community garden as much as Im saying fruit and berries and nut trees should be in every part of the landscape as well as winter onions, asparagus,horseradish and especially mushrooms should all be placed in areas assessable to the people.And we have the power to do it individually in our own spaces.Plant something like garlic for instance takes forever to get underway,but relatively cheap to buy and will provide you with years of crops and continue long after you are gone.What a return on that investment.Most of these crops could be grown in areas that are currently hard to mow/creeks/around poles/ditches or wherever,you get it.I will be practicing this as I try to offset normal orchard practices.I personally will be planting all of the above listed crops.FOOD,all around.I believe I will try to put some aquaponics into the mix on the Jackson St site.Fish is gooood food.
So please buy a plant that produces food  and returns every year and turn it free into the world by simply placing it into the dirt,especially if you plan on giving away some of what it produces or just walking away for a year or two.Think of it as giving thanks for all you have gotten and share in the hope.
I know many currently partake in this practice and for those folks I issue the challenge of Mushrooms.Check into the Wine Cap variety,it seems super simple and quick.I will be purchasing 20 plus pounds of grain spawn this year in hopes of a crop in the summer.I

Out of wak???

I just cant seem to get it right today,my questions are half answered only because I half as#$ked them.I feel as if the life was sucked out of me half way through the day almost as we entered a local town.It seemed to be downhill from there,and didnt let up all the rest of the day with negativity a plenty.I hate days like today because I must have missed something along the way,you know getting kicked while you are down type of thing.I have the deed for jackson street and have planted a couple of signs.And so it begins again.....goood times are ahead as the house has now fallen from the top priority(we now have upper cabinets for the first time in 22 yrs for me and at least 15 for her) how thankful we are to have them now.Even after all the bad today it just isnt bad enough to negate the fact BHCO will be planting over 150 (estimated) fruit or nut bearing trees in the next month or so.I Have just enough of my own money to do it .awesome
