Planting the Fruit

After prepping the dirt last weekend, we had a very successful planting of all the new fruit bushes and trees we had on hand. First, we laid out the twelve blueberry bushes (3 different types) on five foot centers.



As you can see we ran them in one long row along the lower end of the plot. This is the lowest plane where rain will run off to.



And then Hubby starting digging and followed with planting them one by one using a topsoil/cow manure/mushroom compost mix. He had lots of help from Rowdy-girl. She loves the freshly dug earth.



And I carefully set the plants at exactly twelve inches off the plumb line. You know us engineering type geeks just have to be exact!



Rowdy-girl really loves to help everyone on the farm!



Next up we planted the two Fuji apple trees.... they are already blooming and since their roots really love moisture, we planted them along the same plane on the lower end of the plot by the blueberries.





And finally as it was getting much later into the evening we planted the two Santa Rosa plum trees! We decided to plant them on the higher side of the plot.





With all the rain forecasted for this coming weekend and the fact that we have everything planted so far, we will be plant shopping!
