The Wadulisi Girls Arrival

We are so stoked to have them. Jujube, apple, pear, plum, blackberry, raspberry, blueberry, grapes, muscadine, mexican plum, hackberry, honey locust, black locust, fruiting dogwoods, autumn olive, Hanson’s bush cherry, hardy kiwi, persimmon, chokecherry, currants, mimosa and hawthorn are just the tree and shrub species that will be available to them.

Thank you again Mr and Mrs Wadulisi for letting them stay with us.

Well, that’s about all I got, take it easy.

Welcome!  For the last few years Ma and I have really been working towards becoming more food secure and at the same time trying to build our little farm up to a place where we will be able to take it easy once we get older.  Part of that strategy is planting perennials  and lots of them.  We already have a nice lot of fruits and vegetables going but this year is definitely going to be a big

Diggin’ Holes An’ Fillin’em Up.

This is the first hole I dug today and I filled it with a plum tree. The stick you see poking out of the mulch in this shot is a Sugar Cane Jujube tree that I got this year.  We plan to do the Back to Eden mulch treatment around these two and the one in the next shot.
