2016 was an incredibly productive year for our homestead. I got a ton done but there is definitely more to do! Here is what I want to get knocked out in 2017:
Plant more fruit trees:
- 1x Winblo Peach tree
- 1x Challenger Peach tree
- 1x China Pearl Peach Tree
- 1x Korean Giant Oriental Pear tree
- 1x Au Rubrum Plum tree
- 1x Emerald Beaut Plum tree
- 1x Williams Pride Apple tree
- 1x Rubinette Apple tree
- 1x Sunflower Paw Paw tree
- 1x Shenandoah Paw Paw tree
- 1x Chicago Fig tree
- 2x Goumi Berry bushes
- 1x Anna Kiwi
Hands on projects:
- Build a large strawberry bed
- Create 1⁄2” drip irrigation meshes for my hugul beds
- Connect underground PVC lines to 1⁄2” drip meshes
- Install permanent treated 2x2 trellises for tomatoes and peppers
Plant more perennials:
- Plant Jerusalem Artichokes
- Plant a mixture of ever bearing and June bearing strawberries
- Re-work our perennial flower bed
- Plant a hedge of fragrant Osthmanus bushes
I’m sure I’m missing things but this is a decent start. Having a list to work off of is always handy and ensures that nothing gets lost.
