New plant developments

More fruit and vegetables have been added to our land. The Fedco trees (2 apples and 2 plums) have been integrated, as well as the strawberries, some new blueberries, a new potato patch, and the winter garden.
This year the trees flowered better than they ever have before.No signs of groundhogs yet, so we are hopeful they got the message and moved on to some other domain. One of my apple trees got nibbled by deer, so I made some soap cubes to hang on them. Fortunately most of the trees are big enough now that the deer cannot eat the whole tree. I would still like to discourage all grazing.
