This week I am focusing on planning a hedgerow along the west portion of my property. Michael Dolan of Burnt Ridge nursery provided very helpful recommendations based on my soil and site locations, I am reading his catalog and researching online, I am contemplating planting some beechnut trees in the hedgerow, I have one on my property and the foliage is varied through the seasons and has a long vase life in floral arrangements.
On Thursday I worked on the organic farm as an intern, we focused on pruning the apple and pear trees. Beth the farm’s co manager spent some time with me going over pruning practices again, it was very helpful to receive hands on instruction, I feel more confident with my pruning projects at home and on the organic farm.
