Putting into words, our first year as orchardist was a difficult task. I tried several times, but must have never posted. The final death toll was 60%, which is staggering. However, in light of the fact that we have healthy children, my husband has his day job and as a friend pointed out, our trees dying is really a first world problem, we didn't spend too much time dwelling on our failure.
We're making plans to pull out and replant the dead trees and put in a micro emitter system this spring. If this doesn't work, we'll grow something else. Marijuana, perhaps. After all, it IS a weed and like most organic growers, we are proven experts at growing weeds.
