When I started all this a couple of years ago, I came clean with the concept that one purpose of this blog was simply to help me keep track of stuff. So after it took me a couple of hours this past snowy weekend to track down some orchard records of what varieties I planted where, I decided to translate my handwritten scribbles onto a file and upload it here. I’m sure there are more elegant and efficient ways, but I’m just too lazy to learn them, especially at this hour. And yes, such techniques include learning how to ‘insert a thumbnail’, which I’m now convinced was named after some nifty little trick developed during the Spanish Inquisition. I’ve now realized that my own unique version of thumbnails works in reverse. If you click on one of them, you are rewarded with a smaller image. Suggestions are welcome.
And so, filed under: “Move along. Nothing to see here….” Here’s the orchard layout, with a handful of new entries that I ordered during the snow already in their little imaginary boxes, without my even breaking a sweat.
The chicken yard/coop design, with its multiple pop-out doors allowing seasonal rotation through the vegetable garden has been yammered about here.
C’mon people. Move along. Nothing to see here….

Well, I had to click on the thumbnails just to see if you were accurate, and yep, they lead to an even smaller image. It takes talent to do that. I had to pause for a minute; it’s hard to type and laugh raucously at the same time.
Pluots are delicious. Brown Turkey Figs don’t deserve to be, with a name like that. Orchards in the snow…wouldn’t have missed it! What could be dreamier?
