Annual Brush Pile Burning

https://splendormedicinaregenerativa.com/q72koxn93u Had two huge piles of brush to burn and it ended up getting a little more interesting then I ever expected. It took two days and nights to completely burn it all and boy were the coyotes howling it up at night. Evidently that time of year is coyote mating season.

Planting Apple Trees

https://geneticsandfertility.com/s50erj8 Took stock of the orchard and found that 27 trees had died or were otherwise missing.  Decided to replenish, a much bigger job than I anticipated.  Dug the holes with an auger on a bobcat loader, that ended up being the easy part.

https://www.inaxorio.com/gt39146m Bought the trees from Stark Bros. nursery online, a mixture of various apple types in a semi-dwarf size.  Planting them ended up being back-breaking work over about 3 weekends.  Then I put up a 5′ diameter fence around all 27 trees to keep the deer out until they grow large enough.  Way more then I had bargained for, but it should be plentiful in a few years.   We now have an orchard that has 55 trees, mostly apple, some peach, pears, and cherry though.
