Beautiful weather here in Central Missouri this week. I noticed yesterday that two of my plum trees have started to bloom. Asparagus is coming, rhubarb is coming, broccoli and cauliflowers all got froze and killed a couple weeks ago, so I’ll be replanting some of that stuff over the weekend. Maybe put out another orchard tree or two. Mrs. Augie wants a HoneyCrisp apple but I haven’t been able to find them locally so I guess I’ll have to go the mail order route on that.
Our fruit trees are beginning to bud also. We planted them in 2010 and 2011. The extreme drought killed on of the apple trees.
Last year we did have peaches that started to grow, but they were so stunted, that we decided to pull them off, and allow the tree to regain it’s vigor from the drought.
We are hoping to get some fruit from the trees this year.
