Easter 2013

  So I had some family time and now it is time to really get busy.I have been trying to put the finishing touches on the "fast pitch" paperwork for BHCO as well as combine it with the necessary paperwork to send to Mineral and Galva in hopes to keep their interest.I also took the opportunity to pitch the rescue squad idea in hopes to make a career change.I dont seem to make enough money painting to expand the way I need too with BHCO,also the rescue squad will give me more time to embark on the paper trail.I* also believe to be on the rescue squad will be more rewarding than painting.
  BHCO has purchased 5 more properties bringing the total to 13..I am not sure of the total acres but I will calculate it someday..So the race is on to buy trees and get them in the ground asap without loosing my job or killing trees by not getting them planted fast enough.I will pot the trees that I can and plant the rest directly into the ground..I wish I had more help,but all are either busy or still uninspired..Heck I probably havent asked enough for help-,but thats fine..I have faith.. A little footnote before I get back to work..I will be planting some chestnut trees on a new property,they have a fascinating story of struggle to survive that needs to be addressed by planting some re engineered seedlings(dunlap) in an area that they can outlive my children before harvest.I hope to incorporate them into the BHCO program somehow,maybe the investment program..I will post the addresses and pics of the trees as soon as I have time,with the council election and fastpitch and planting and work and land clearing and..well you get the point..Feel free to offer to help pot some trees this week if you get bored..I would love to put 400 in the ground and in pots..

mineral ill

  I spoke in front of  the Mineral city council(beautiful town) on the 14 of march.I didnt have the laptop cause of the dead batteries and I couldnt find the business cards,but I gave them all the info I could before leaving straight from the meeting to head to work.I gotta say that I am very busy lately and it is going to be tough to get everything done,I actually have 2 presentations to give in front of a group called "fastpitch" on Monday and I havent started yet.I will get off work Monday at about eight in the morning after an 11 hour shift and have to rush home to get ready for the first 2min which is at 920 and the second at 10.I have also bought some more properties and need to get trees ordered because we are not going to have weekends off for a while.I wonder what it is going to be like at planting time,sheesh..
  I know that many of you who read this stuff really do it just to have fuel to bash me,good,whatever it takes to get you off your asses both mentally and physically. For those who do care and understand the battle we are all currently in,I want to take a minute to thank the best supporter I have ever had.My girlfriend  Has been paying all the bills and doing all the cleaning while I put fort the effort for BHCO,I could not do it without her.May God see her as she is,I love you April and thank you.
 

a factory in the future?

  So I am working on a purchase agreement to buy land to put up a small fruit and juice processing facility.It will be all I can do to fund this purchase this year,so its a slow process but I have time.The trees will not be producing for several more years and if I have to build the factory myself,I will need the ti8me so I gotta get started.
   I will be talking to the Mineral city council on Idus marteau to try to get them enrolled into BHCO.(ides of march or the 15th).It will work out great because I am starting a job that will be 8 at night to 8:30 in the morning.Its great that I wont have to rush so much that night because the meeting is at 6:30 pm.I also have the off line web pages to fall back on for a presentation so I really wont be preparing for the event,instead I will continue my one night off from work to prepare stuff for the upcoming week.
  I have high hopes this year will be smooth and even though I shall be working a lot,I will get the investment lots planted and maybe some more areas that are being purchased right now.
 
I want to share a quick prediction on my part that I have had a little mind tickle about,it goes as follows. I have a feeling the new pope will be of mixed ethnicity and will be announced on march 15th.I know its off topic but I do not care about any of that kinda stuff,my conspiratorial mind loves theater.

Trees have been found

  I have been in contact with a nursery that has some cherry tree that are normally found in Canada but also do well in the states.Its a tree that can be formed into a shrub and handles the cold well.It has large ,tasty fruit that is a cross between sweet and tart, that is very productive for its size( aprox 4ft by 4 ft). I am interested in giving them a shot but I am not sure quite where to put them as a shrub or hedge row,I gotta have them though.I believe the name is Carmin Jewel and wish I could find more information on them like chill hours and if they do well in shade,how far can you really cut them back and do they do well in low lined areas? I will keep digging.
   I have also found a couple of heavy producing plums that I hope to try,I will be buying a hundred or so and potting for trans plant throughout the year.They claim heavy production and high sugar content and that is a good mix.They claim a wooden post is needed to support the trees heavy production and needs to be installed at the time of planting,yea more expenses..Please someone buy my tractor/backhoe so I can continue.I will post a link to it on craigslist,,
