Picture of the week
June 13th, 2026
The weather last week was warm and humid with some rain from time to time. The chestnut trees have pushed 6 to 10 inches of new growth and we are seeing the beginnings of the chestnut flowers. The lambs continue to grow quickly on abundant grass and clover.
We fertilized trees last we and grafted over about 50 seedling chestnuts to known cultivars. We also started to observe some insect damage on some of the chestnuts but haven’t deployed any controls for them yet.
This week will be cooler and rainy. If things dry out we will cut some hay.
Take care everyone.
