Spring in Cherry Valley
chris on Apr 1st 2008
Spring officially arrived twelve days ago, but we are seeing very few signs of it here in Cherry Valley. Four days ago, we had a snow storm that dropped 8 inches of wet, heavy snow on us, and this past weekend we saw high temperatures around 30 degrees. Fortunatelly, most of the snow has gone in the last 24 hours because it has warmed up a bit and it rained a lot over night.
Yesterday, we ordered apple trees from Seeds of Change. The trees are all heirloom varieties, and certified organic. We ordered Cox’s Orange Pippin, Northern Spy, Snow Apple (also known as Fameuse), and Spitzenburg Apple Trees. We look forward to planting these trees with Graham in a couple of weeks.
