The heirloom apple and pear trees arrived this month. I've scoped out a northeast facing slope beyond the hoop house for the orchard. However, five days of rain have soaked the ground, delaying their planting.
Organic seed potatoes also arrived from Milk Ranch. I'll plant La Ratte and French fingerlings, Rose Finn Apple, Garnet Chile and Yellow Finn varieties come early Spring.

March 2008
Still waiting on septic and well permits. The heirloom seed orders have arrived -- over 137 varieties, ranging from amaranth to zucchini. Found a good source of aged horse manure and have begun hauling in loads to till into the soil.
I decided against making the first hoop house out of PVC, and instead ordered a 16'x96' hoop house from Atlas Greenhouse. The parts have arrived and construction will begin as soon as I can get a dry weekend. Discovered the source of the "peent" sound coming from the southern field at dusk. One or two American Woodcock males chirping to attract the females. Listen to the sound here.
