The natives and crab apples thrive in the spring
sun. |

The ponies still carry their thick winter coats
and don't like the warm weather at all. |

|
The apple trees in the small orchard have
all taken root and grow well.

We plant a great variety of seeds in seedlings trays in the greenhouse. The
seedlings grow well and everything looks good. We still use our greywater
for all the watering in the garden. Usually that works very well, but it
just doesn't work for the smaller seedlings. Many of them die. Once we
realize what has happened, we start over again and only use freshwater to
water them. |
