Farm chatter

you're a flockstar

I've been spraying trees again. a friend came to visit and we had to social distance anyway so I just kept spraying lol - he knew I'd be working through his visit and decided to come anyway.

the big peach tree that I thought I was basically done with except for the tippy bits... the tippy bits took a bit more time than I expected but I'm calling that tree done now. I had to use the 16ft ladder but it's not too bad now that I know how to use it better. The high steps are scary to get on but amazingly stable once I get there. like the ladder flexes when you climb it but is steady when you stop and stay on a step.

so that's 2 peach trees that are right next to each other

and I've started the plum tree that's next to it, which is the bigger of the two plums & then I have the smaller plum

I really want to cut off so much of these trees because having fruit 16+ feet in the air is just absurd! but I cant cut off too much in one season and I also dont want to upset the tree and get no fruit

PLUS using the snippers when I'm up the ladder scares me
