We’ve been watching an excellent crowdfunded documentary series called Woodlanders. It brought to our attention a guy working to reintroduce the chestnut tree to American forests. We couldn’t believe it was even possible to acquire young chestnuts so we pretty much had to place an order. It arrived this week and to our surprise it still had leaves from the season previous. This is when it hit us what it meant to be planting this.
We’re moving the garden to an area closer to the house and with much better soil
Found a few carrots from last season 🙂
Added 18 blueberry plants to the ~40 we have now; 18 more to come in 2 weeks.
I threw the last logs in the stove and promptly went after a couple more small ash trees. For a brief moment, we were all out of firewood.
We’ll take all the drying we can get
This is the greenest we’ve burnt, literally minutes between tree to firewood. Ash is seriously impressive.
