The raspberry sprouts have graduated to full grown vines. Hopefully, they’ll survive the winter. Currently all of the raspberry and black berry bushes are still alive. Optimistically, the Dwarf Elberta peach looks about half alive. The Bonfire peach is on its last legs. And, the Kadota fig tree is a giant question mark. Sprouts shoot from the base. But, it’s smaller this year than it was last year. The moral of this story? We should probably plan on planting three new fruit or nut trees next year.
The Contenders:
Paw Paw
mulberry
fig
(Panchee, Dalmatian, Conadria, or Kadota)
chestnut
pecan
And, it looks like I will probably need to replant some thyme. Both the oregano and marjoram are crowding out my small patch of thyme. And, I never plant enough basil. Plant more basil!!!
