Our 1 Acre – One Veggie Patch at a Time

Pears this Weekend

July 20th, 2008 AndrewD

We picked up a couple of pear trees this week, one Beurre Bosc and Sensation Pear. So our orchard is slowly growing. This meant that I had better start planning what the orchard should look like.

So here is the first draft of what the orchard will look like.

Citrus – well we will just have to wait and see what happens as Yass does have some heavy frosts and of course citrus and frost do not mix (see previous post).  The two additional apple trees I have ordered from (http://www.woodbridgefruittrees.com.au). As far as the cherries, I have not decided which I want so they may have to wait until next year, the same with the mulberry. The plums I have decided on but the local nursery has run out.

What else happened this weekend? Not much Saturday planted the pears and what I had planned for Sunday has been postponed as it has rained all day. Oh well there is next weekend.
