Seeding for Spring

We've been planting like crazy getting ready for spring. We even had to build some temporary greenhouses to hold the roughly 50,000 seedlings we planted.

Peach Pruning

We started pruning the peach trees in preparation of the upcoming season. We start by removing most of the upper vertical branches and then thinning out the lower branches. This gives maximum airflow and and sunlight to the peaches as they are growing.
