The grounds have to be in “perfect” condition in order for these cherry trees (and apple) to survive. A very exciting week for us here on the farm!

The rental bees have also arrived and very busy at work already…the busier they are the better the crops!Busy Bees

We also have to teach a little at a time to the next generation. This is Collin (age 9), Melinda’s son. We told him how the tree planting works and that it would be about when he is our age when the trees need replaced. By the look on his face, I don’t think he could even imagine being our age!Teach your children well
