Today in the orchard
Today we had one of those all-day soaking rains of over an inch - great for watering the thousands of young trees that have been transplanted throughout the state in recent days. Thank you clouds! As a result, there was definitely a lot happening in the orchard today though none of it had anything to do with us. It was mostly about happy roots. We just watched from the window as the world turned green. Although many of the trees are still looking rather barren, some—like the poplars—are almost entirely leafed out. Tomorrow sun is predicted, and topworking will begin.
