THIS WEEK ON THE FARM: Supposed to be finishing up pruning fruit trees, but this cold snap is slowing me down…ONLY 40 days to spring! A simple tutorial for pruning apple trees in comments below 🍎

Snowy below freezing temps hindering pruning progress. Photo of Bartlett pear & Italian prune trees dusted with snow. Lichen adds soft green hues to otherwise gray dreariness. Mounds of cuttings from rehabbing 100yr old trees that haven’t been hard pruned in several years. Remember not to prune stone fruits in winter due to wet climate blight risk, summer/fall only. 🌸

Happy Spring Equinox! Did you know that pear buds are only receptive to pollination for 7 days after bud break? 🍐

Bartlett pear buds getting ready to break. Low light, dirty farm hands and dirty farm dog😊
