I’m starting off a new topic for how my orchard (and I) are faring this year.
I’m currently winding down my day at the grower’s convention. Lots of good stuff here, lots of continuing research and meeting up with people I’ve known for decades at this point…and some new people I’ve met along the way.

I stopped by an orchard I used to work at on my way back to the office after a site visit (don’t tell my employer).
Those peach trees are 25 years old and still going strong.

These came yesterday.
75 brand new trees, 22 replants and 15 were requested by others.
The new trees are 25 Earlystar, 25 Glenglo and 25 Flamin Fury Lucky 13.
The replants are varied.
I’m just happy it’s taken me 11 years to fill 4 1/2 acres (I had issues with deer damage and had to wait to build a fence and then had to wait to get enough money together to start replanting) but the long, slow process of putting the first foot forward to starting an orchard has begun.

I was at my orchard yesterday.
My Rich Mays are already flowering, my redhavens are starting to flower and my cresthavens are just kinda sitting there waiting to perk up
I spent a week at my orchard .
25 Glenglo peaches were planted.
25 Earlystar peaches were planted.
25 lucky 13 trees were planted.
Around 50 trees of assorted varieties were replanted.
Oh, and the flowering of the peach trees continues.
