Our journey to producing more and consuming less on 1/8 acre in the middle of the city. Urban farming, through keeping backyard chickens and a top bar hive of honey bees, practicing organic vegetable gardening, taking care of several fruit trees, maintaining a compost pile, canning and preserving our harvests and trying our best to do it all ourselves using reclaimed materials where possible.

Though we have yet to see this in our orchard this year, I have been reading from other farmers that their orchard trees are blooming now[!] when they shouldn't be because they are so confused with the wacky weather we've had this year.
ReplyDeleteOur trees are all screwed up on their ripening schedules - some earlier than they should be and some the exact opposite!
Well, I'm happy to hear that we're not alone. Very strange weather, indeed. I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed for some blooms next spring as well ;-)
