Marcus Pruning

Garden Log: February 11th-25th

  • Pruned 360 apple trees
  • Harvested four tubs of spinach for the coop and Mt. Vernon’s winter market
  • Planted forty flats of rosemary
  • Planted forty flats of lavender
  • Planted tomato flats and root stock
  • Clean and insulated walk-in cooler

The past couple weeks we have been in the orchard pruning.   Although we wish that the weather was a little nicer it is a welcomed alternative last year’s warm February which caused premature bloom.  So we are happy to put on our ski masks and insulated coveralls to work out in the orchard.  Also we are still enjoying fresh spinach from the hoophouse and are savoring the  last of our winter carrots.
