This is my Orchard Diary. The Orchard was planted in November 2008. We have planted roughly 100 trees. They are all fruit trees. These include apple pear cherry plum peach and apricot. I have 5 bee hives and am organic, though not registered. This is in part my way of fighting climate change, and making a difference. I'm making the change I want to see.

7th February Snowy
Checked all the trees today. They seem fine. Lots if not all of the trees have buds ready to burst open in a couple months if not sooner.
It has snowed a great deal over the past few days and much of the snow is still on the ground. In fact I can see tracks laid by the Rabbits that have been hopping around. None of the paw prints actually get very close to any of the trees. It would have been easy to spot if any rabbit had even lingered around a tree trunk.
Some of the ground has ice and in some places its strong enough to hold my weight without breaking. In most however it breaks as soon as I step on it.
The cold should kill any germs or bacteria and insects that are around.
