I work all day and then come home and mow every day.I hardly have time to enjoy what I have.
I am starting to see a lot more fruit this year on the apples and pears but I am also seeing a large amount of randomly dead branches on some trees.Its as if one side of the tree dies out.I have sprayed for beetles and I have sprayed for blight but It keeps happening.I am starting to think it is from last years drought.I have also fertilized one lot and have notice a huge difference in tree growth so I need to get on to fertilizing the other lots.I did the walnut trees already and some of the hazelnut and paw paw trees.I* am hoping that someday soon I can have more time in the orchards,but for now I will try to take what I can form this and "slow down" to reflect on the process and why it is taking place.
I will try to get some pics up..

nothing
I have nothing to report! I have just been mowing every night and maintaining the land and trees.I have been busy catching up on neglected things and getting equipment in working order.I am having a hard time making money and keeping ahold of it at my current job as I seem to be wearing out my welcome(loosing out on OT).I guess time will tell but I doubt I will be turning down any offers for work.I love painting but do not like how the paint trade is conducted,nor am I all that fond of painters.
I have faith in the BHCO project and know that while the labor demand has dwindled for now,it may change at any moment.I am excited to report the trees are doing well and the beetles arent nearly as devastating as they were last year.I have a little issue with blight and will try to spray a copper type spray on the one orchard to solve the problem.
I have decided to sell one property and keep twelve(eleven which are mostly planted). The tree service will be hopefully removing trees from the area soon so that it can be planted with North star cherries on both sides of the creek.
I still havent sold my equipment and may actually have an upcoming dig job from the buyer that fell through.Just when I think I had it figured,BAM! I can honestly say "I am the dumbest guy I know" but I can say it with a smile!So I have no desire to expand at the moment and no demanding push in any direction other than to "get collected".It still seems as if a milestone was achieved and not that a goal was missed.I feel better and sleep better with that very feeling.
