Almost. March and April are the rainy months, as we have100+ degree weather for 5-6 months. Our rivers floor, cars float under bridges, it is amazing. France is filled with calm but also extremes! 5 days of rain this week, four days of rain next week. Xxoo

@steveb4 I would do everything I could to get that acre for 2000 dollars. Having a buffer next to your land that you have all your fruit plants on and hard work invested is priceless to me. At that price someone will probably buy it and who knows what they will do on it.
Also, a 1/2 acre pond would be lovely. I have one and it is my favorite place on our property. It is not deep so I just stocked it with some catfish. They overwinter here fine, as the water does not freeze all the way to the bottom. I could eat them, but I feed them and they have sort of become pets. Very peaceful with the bullfrogs, turtles, multitudes of dragon flies, wild ducks that come around at intervals, and tons of other wildlife. It was just a smaller mud hole when we bought the land, and I had an excavating company come dig it out a bit during a bad drought when most of it dried up. I can’t remember what it cost, but I don’t think it was excessive, as we did not have a lot of disposable cash at the time.
The dogwoods and cranberry highbush viburnums sound lovely and there must be some other edible fruits that like somewhat wet soil? If you are like me, you will probably spend the 2 thousand on something else that won’t be nearly as beautiful, peaceful, useful and permanent as that acre of land. After all, as they say, they are not making any more of it.

Ya, the peepers surprise me every year. My reed canary grass swamp is still frozen solid. The sedge grass sections of marsh are thawing out, but just a few inches down there’s still ice.
A guy I communicate with in VT had peepers a couple weeks ago. That seemed super early

Cold and windy today. Not a good day for a wig. Trees are way behind last year. One of these days it’s just going to flip and it’ll be summer.

Walked my orchards this morning. A number of trees at silvertip, a couple nearing green tip. If the weather cooperates I’ll get oil and copper sprayed next week.
