One of our calves didn't make it overnight. We had called him Mr. Friendly because he was so sociable to us. Sad day.
Yesterday we had 3 cubic yards of compost delivered. I think we need more, but I'm leaving the math up to Steve. We'll see.
I've been accumulating plants over the past couple of months and today we started some planting. We planted the 4 trees that were purchased from Costco. Jonathan Apple, Granny Smith, Lapins Cherry, and Bartlett Pears. We need a second Pear tree to cross-pollinate.
We have blueberry plants, raspberry, blackberry, and strawberries. Today at Call's Nursery in Elwood, we picked up an Elberta Peach tree, tomatoes (big beef, purple, Hawaiian yellow), cherry tomatoes (cherry, yellow pear, grape), tomatillos, onions (red and white), garlic, peppers: sweet banana, jalapeno, bell peppers (green, red, yellow), artichokes, cucumbers (pickling, slicing, and lemon), yellow crookneck. They were out of zucchini. And a sweet potato plant. We need to go back for other potato starts. I'm on the hunt for Blumheim Apricots and other fruit trees. Especially since the orchard has room for 12 trees. We'll end up with a porch full of all kinds of herbs.
