Replanting

Semi Dwarf Plum and Nectarine trees.

    We really love fruit here, so it makes perfect sense to add as many fruit trees, bushes and plants. Recently I purchased a dwarf plum tree and quickly replanted it into a bigger container, as the pot it was in was so small it was mostly root and very little dirt. I would have put it in the ground but we aren't quite sure as to where all these fruit trees are going and I do not want to have to dig them up later. Since I was doing some replanting I thought I'd better check on our cherry trees as well. Sure enough they needed to be replanted into bigger pots.

   I also had time to spread some viola seeds I collected from last year and spread them around the flower bed out front in the bare spaces. I started working again on the area in front of the house where we plan to put stairs in with a pathway. It is not an easy task with little ones running around, plus the rain.

While surveying the front yard area, I noticed some flowers among the wild blackberry bushes. Turns out it is red elderberry. I hope to cut back the blackberry bushes there so I can dig out the elderberry and move them to a more ideal location. Nothing like getting free fruit, thanks to the animal that dropped the seeds there.

Have you ever had ideas as to how you want your yard to look like but don't know where to start or even have a bunch of different projects going on at once? That's me! With all these things going on, I would really like to knock out 1 thing so I can be finished with it and move on to the next.

Oh, 1 last update... The eggs in the incubator are on day 9, we are half way there to lock down. Which reminds me I need to get the laundry room cleaned up so we have a place to put the brooder for the chicks.
