    Neither can we. This will be year 3 for the apple trees, and year 2 for the cherry. Hopefully fruit this year. The berry bushes (blue, elder, cherry) are thriving - we got a small harvest on each last year. Watered the hell outta them though. Glad the wild huckleberries take care of themselves and provide.

    I took your advice and got a package of the Jobe's Organic Citrus Tree Spikes. I put one in it this morning, but it still does not have any lemons. I think it is a retarded lemon tree.

    Apple trees don't grow here, 10 miles down the road, they sure do though

    My land had a bunch of wild blackberries which gave us a great bounty until we built the house.

    We realized then that the blackberries were in all the wrong places near my roads and trails and as I was bush hogging or riding the 4 Wheeler to maintain and enjoy my land, the thorns would cut the hell out of me.

    1 month a year they produced sweet/tangy fruit and 11 months they cut the hell out of us? Rick Vs Reward was not there so...

    ...So I finally mowed most of them down, most but not all. Every year around June I sort of regret it! But we still harvest a bucket or two per year...

    Yummmm blackberries! Had them all around as a kid back in the flats...not sure if there are any around here or not. Glad you kept some.

    I'd love to expand our wild huckleberry patch - but for some reason, those critters dont like to be moved or messed with...nothing. They're totally determined to do it the wild way or not at all LOL. What I might try - is to clear/improve the area around them - to see if they'll spread on their own. They sell for $80/gallon up here but we eat all of ours; in the summer mornings for a couple months Tom will run down the hill & pick a pint for pancakes.

    Finally put seed in the dirt today. Tomorrow I'll try my hand at spuds. Just in planters until the plants come up, and I finish prepping the garden. I bought a black walnut seedling tree and put that in the ground. The blueberry plants didn't survive the winter. Looks like something got hungry on them.
    BAH FUCKING HUMBUG!

    In Meatchicken tomatoes only after memorial or you risk dead tomatoes. Tomatoes started indoors must be acclimated to the intense sun slowly over a few days. Soaking wet soil will rot the stems.
