The pumpkins, squash, gourds, and sweet corn have been planted and seem to be fairing quite well with all the rain and cooler temperatures. We were worried the cooler temperatures would keep the bees away from the apple blossoms, but things are looking quite well at this point. The honeyberries (Indigo Gem) and two varieties of dwarf sour cherries are in the ground and thriving. We will pick up four more varieties of honeyberries this week and plant them asap! They are Tundra, Borealis, Cinderella, and Berry Blue. We are so excited to experiment with something new. Posted on our Facebook page are some gorgeous pictures of the spring blossoms (apple, cherry, and plum).
Good News!- We will be accepting credit cards when we open this fall!! The jams, jellies, and other goodies have been ordered. I have been busy making homemade jelly from our Honeycrisp apples to sell also. Actually there is plum and cherry jellies too. We are looking forward to a great year and can’t wait to see you this fall.
