After the initial work up last week of the winter rye cover crop, it was time to work in some mushroom soil. Here is what two yards looks like when spread out just before tilling.
And this is after two perpendicular passes with the tiller. After it sits for a week or two to give the rye time to rot in, it should be good to go.
And time to edge the strawberry bed. Once the crowns take off the sides will be filled in with straw.
The weeping cherry is in full bloom and the honey bees are really going after it.
But it's still a bit early for the fruit cherries to be in bloom. This is a good thing as we're having a late hard freeze tonight. These are buds on the Regina tree which is now five years old and about fifteen feet tall. Unfortunately, it requires a pollinator, and the Blackgold we planted next to it died two years ago. It was replaced with two more last summer. Not sure if we'll get any fruit this season or not.
