More about Trees

These tress have been a real problem.

The one pear tree started to turn black. I was afraid it had fire blight. We called the nursery that sold them to us and the fellow said to put a screw driver down inside of the pots and see if they come out wet. He thought they may have to much water.

The screw driver came out drive. Then he says, it needs water.

Confused. He thought it was getting to much water, now not enough. So, we dug a small drench around the tops of the pots and bought a moisture gage.

Yea!! The trees are beginning to look healthy again.

We are buying the tiller this weekend. I will be planting potatoes for the fall. Our backyard is getting a bit crowded.
