Espalier

Going to try to espalier 3 trees along a very boring garage. Went to an awesome and eccentric Motz tree farm last week. I was originally going to do apple, but when I got out there, that all changed. I chose a Mesabi Cherry (sour), a Cherry (sweet), and White Lady Peach. I also got an Apricot tree 'Scout', which I was surprised to learn is a zone 3, who knew. I will be documenting this tedious task.

Permanent Vegetable Garden

Planning the vegetable garden. The fence posts are in,
one little part of the fence is done, hopefully we will
finish the rest this weekend.

cabbage fennel
spinach leeks
kale cherry tomatoes (the only ones that work for me)
cucumbers green beans
pumpkins (the kids REALLY want to try these, I'm nervous)





We have a lot to do still, I want to finish it within the next week. Fence, tilling, then planting. Willow preschool will be helping with a little of the planting. Also, the boys will too.

The one part of the fence that is complete...
