When this last batch is in the ground, we’re going to calm the eff down with the planting.

1 More pear tree
2 Apricot trees
Mama Robin is back
She picked a tree right next to the previous year’s and built her nest closer to the trunk. We discovered her as she was alarming in exactly the same way as last year when we happened to be close to the tree. What a great way to let predators know they’re getting warmer!
Anyway, we’re glad she chose our garden again this year (assuming its the same Mama Robin).
And 25 more
30 + 25 + 25 + 3 extras = 83 plants 🙂 I can’t wait to be swimming in raspberries.
The tick patrol
Very bad year for ticks so far. Time to release the dinosaurs.

The tipping point
2 pear trees (one heavily defended)
2 more red currents
2 plum trees
3 more apple “trees”
2 cherry trees
With everything we are putting in the ground this year, in 4 to 5 years, we should reach the point where our land produces much more than we know what to do with. This will coincide with being close to, if not entirely debt free. We might even have built a rental house by then too.
It’s impossible to know what things will look like exactly, but it’s easy to foresee there will be a tipping point where we finally reap the rewards of our hard work and investments.
