Well I’m back on another 3-11 week which means it’s time to get some stuff knocked out that needs to be done on the land. This morning was plenty productive, I’ve been waiting for some tree tubes for about 3 months and they finally came in. I swapped out some of the old reused tubes with these fresh new tubes that are vented, the old ones were not.
I also picked up some thornless blackberries and two blueberry bushes two nights ago at TSC. They are the Degroot brand and unsure of how well they will do. All were showing green growth on pickup and were discounted 40% so why not try them. I also picked up against my better judgement two of their apple trees at the same discount. I got a Golden Delicious and a red Delicious as seen in the pictures. Did I screw up by trying any of these plants?
Also I have been reading some of the posts on here if how detrimental tubes can be to fruit trees, so I decided to remove the tubes from three of my
Seedling crabs and just cage them. I used a loose zip tie to keep the tree “straight” with my tube stakes.
Also built and installed 4 bluebird houses on the front plot. Forgot to take a picture of them but I’m trying to benefit all wildlife and bluebirds are one of my favorite small birds.
Blackberries in their final resting place.
Anything I’m doing wrong or should avoid? I’m open to all advice!
