you win some and you lose some. i had seven trees die this year. because they were purchased in january 2009 and i planted with ammend - fyn - guarantees them for failure. so here are the replacements i will be getting:
nectarine:
juneglo
heavenly white
arctic blaze
arctic queen
arctic star
spice-zee nectaplum
tri-lite peachplum
new players for the 2010 orchard team are:
nectarine - z-glow and goldmine
cherry - mimi royal, royal lee, stella, lambert, montmorency
asian pear - shinko, hosui
blueberry - oneil, misty, bluecrop, blueray, ozark, reveille
most of the holes are dug, but i have some topsoil to move out of the way - to dig others, i need to extend the drip to cover the new trees and blueberries and i also need to noodle on a solution that keeps the bluejays from eating my blueberries.
i have just about filled up the garden and i still have grapes and raspberries and blackberries that i need to have. so at the other end of the yard - a few years down the road, we will see another garden area to house these vines. now, if i could only have time AND money at the same time to get this done faster.
Hoo man -- and I was bummed after losing one Avocado tree. Not to worry Garry. Getting there is half the fun. I'm ordering a bunch of stuff through Bay Laurel nursery this year, including grape vines, with Carri Stokes and a few other people (keeps the shipping costs down). There's room to add to that order if you're interested.
