The Growing Season

Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.

Ecclesiastes 11:4

This has certainly rung true for the growing season of 2021 so far! After the arctic temperatures that held us all captive for many days in February, we started to fan the flames of hope when our orchard trees began to bud and bloom and the garden seeds we planted started to grow. Unfortunately, much of our potted root stock did not survive the extreme cold, and many of our young grafted trees from 2020 died as well. Thankfully we were able to find more root stock that we have growing for grafting Spring 2022, but our new grafts are low in number this year. We have been blessed with more than normal rainfall since the beginning of May, and the mayhaw trees are loving it, along with the garden, the insects, and the grass!

We will post here when trees are ready to be shipped in early December, or as soon as the weather cools down. There will be a limited supply and we already have buyers asking about them, so we don’t expect them to last long once they are ready. Our trees will be $35 each this year and we can ship up to six trees to most locations for around $25. We pull from the pots, wrap in moisture, and ship the same day. We will also post ads on our Facebook page when trees are ready. We wish you a productive growing season and a fruitful summer!
