High: 76.0

Low: 55.0

Mostly sunny

Observations

• Root on the Dr. Gowaty figpop
• Took a nice slow walk around the orchard this morning and get up close and personal with some plants. Trying to understand their lifecycle better.

Tasks

• Put some leaf mulch on a few of the orchard plants. It was the end of the day and I was tired so I quit early.
• Watered the beds, asparagus, and peas.
• Cut off the dead leaves on the plants in the greenhouse using scissors. I figured that there is no way they could come back to life, so why not just cut them off and send any energy elsewhere.

Ideas

• Saw this video on a solution for mosquitos. I will try it out this year.
• There are some plants in the front yard that I want to replace with some of the extra persimmon, pawpaw and/or serviceberries. I'll do this on Wednesday.
• Violette de Bordeaux fig
• Chicago Hardy fig
• Empty holes (2)
• TODO: Prepare the three holes for the pawpaws that should arrive on Wednesday
• TODO: Get more composted soil

The front yard doesn't get enough love. It's beautiful around sunset time.

Pawpaw

Looks like red wax on the edges of some of the peach leaves

Signs of catepilars again!?!?

Added leaf compost to the Nikita's Gift
