Cherries, Peaches, Plumbs Oh Yum.....

[LocalGrowGuy]

Would love some river time....but the dog pack and the daily watering requirements here keep us in check for visits/extended visits >anywhere<. Would be similar to your trips over this way...smoke and run. (might check out that window/door place as well to see if there are ANY bargains there for the upcoming remodel of the shanty before just heading to the box stores)

hope all is well.....

Have you ever been to a Habitat for Humanity Restore? There are deals to be made, but your choices suck. Frisco or Carbondale.

We're spoiled by years of visiting the Eagle Habitat Re-Store. AMAZING finds there....all sorts of high dollar/quality shit ripped out of homes in Beaver /Creek/Vail by new owners who want something "new". A friend of mine has 30K of teak kitchen cabinets in his house he got for FREE cus some rich bitch bought a house...opened the cabinet...and didn't like the WAY THE WOOD SMELLED. He ripped em out the next day before she changed her mind...LOL.

But the stores down this way.... most of what is there is junk/has already had it's day...and very little of it was good stuff to begin with.

It's always fun living in the sticks.... so many choices! Uuuhhhumm.

As always..that's some nice lookin fruit.

IF you get around your buddy....could you see if he could offer any tips for us re our fruit trees? Been in the ground about a year..... trees are (estimate) probably 3 years old.....nursery grown stock....1-1.5 caliper. Cherries are Stella...Rainier...Bali... Apples are Jonathan (2).... Granny Smith....Sweet Sixteen....Red delicious.....Pears are Summercrisp, Asian, and one other....

Not many blooms this Spring on anything. The Bali cherries bloomed the best and there are some cherries there. Jonathans bloomed slightly.....and there are a few (6?) apples.... A couple on the Sweet 16.... but overall.... not much bloom or fruit action.

Wondering if it's fert....soil pH/etc. related....or of they are just setting roots and not focused on fruit production yet.

If you could ask him for some tips.....that'd be sweet. There are historic apple trees here that produce (we are looking at 2 trees down the way that no one ever collects the fruit and are going to go ask the owners if we can pick/have the harvest), so I know the climate will support such endeavors.

Gonna needs some smoke one of these days.... so may plan a quick trip over that way sometime soon....

You should see the girls now. Holy fuck. Just crazy. BIGGEST plants I've ever grown....bar none. Good thing I bought that chainsaw sharpener....heeehee

Will do
Could have him call you for advice awesome grower
