Picture of the week
Glory Days of Summer-June 27, 2026
Life in the chestnut orchard is vibrant and uplifting. The trees are pushing new growth, the chestnut flowers are developing, and pollen will start flying in about a week. We are very pleased with our cover crops of clover and orchard grass which provide excellent forage for the lambs and habitat for insects like bees.
Hot weather is predicted for next week and that’s great news since chestnuts pollinate best when hot and windy. We also plan to graft more trees since grafting is most successful when hot.
