Ya, so much for digging the holes before my tree/bush order came. I picked them up this afternoon. Five Nankin Cherries, five Highbush Cranberries, two Hazelnut trees, two Stanley Plum trees, one Lodi Apple tree, and ten Forsythia bushes. Six holes are dug (this morning) and I'm dizzy and my knee isn't happy. .......and there was still some frost in the ground closer to the woods!! My son helped plant the trees when I got home. Thanks Matt! Just the bushes left for tomorrow -- not as deep of holes :-)
Rick put together and dug a hole for my mason bee house. Let the orchard blossoms begin! (But not too soon -- another week of low 30's nights is in the forecast!)

My mason bee hive is in place in the orchard. (Thanks Honey!)
The hole right next to it is where I am making a mud patch for the bees
to plug the holes after they lay their eggs.
Check out my mason bee post under "bees" for more info on them. |

I can't wait to start planting things at my new cabin site.
