Homestead Happenings

The last two years have been not so good with planting new bushes, and grape plants.  Between having those two trips south, then a flooding of rain, most new plants we planted died.  And after two to three years of attempting to grow blueberries, we know we cannot (limestone).

Since then the new red raspberry bushes are taking flight (thankfully).  The cherry tree looks great too.

I've purchased three new grape plants (for jams/jellies, juice and wine) and we are using Grit Magazine's "plan" to put them in (for a starter arbor).
