Yesterday, we saw the weather forecast for today was going to be perfect for working outside! This was a much needed break from all the rain we've had. We went to the local hardware store last night and picked up additional fence to finish up areas we've had plans to do. Unfortunately after walking to the back side of our property, this is what we found left of a 5ft fence we had recently installed:
An overflow for our pond caused rushing water to stack up pine needles, mud, sticks, logs, etc.. until it bent the tposts holding the fence. We will be changing the fence type from no climb goat fencing to barbed wire in this section in hopes to catch less debris.
The good news is that the rain did help soften the ground in other areas and we were able to easily plant 9 new fruit trees. We added 3 fig, 2 apricot, 2 apple, 1 plum, and 1 nectarine.
We have decided to turn this part of our yard into an orchard. We are going to keep adding trees until we run out of room.
