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.
