Tree planting

Start by staring into ComposT-Twin tumbler, to see if compost is ready to use after 1 year. Normal is 2 weeks.

First we planted the Rochester peach. Not shown is the new Mantis electric tiller tearing new a**holes in our clay & rocky soil. Worked great and saved a lot of time and effort. However, this what I looked like after working on only 2 holes.

Last to go in was the Green Gage plum. I have been looking for this for 2 years. Even had trouble finding it on the web, until I spelled as 2 words. It tuns out “Green Gages” were imported into England from France in 1724 by Sir William Gage. Finally it is in my yard.
