a little little tiny elderberries that's
crazy right
bring nice Quicken I changed up the duck
feed this morning because I had a bunch
of extra ears of corn that I got really
really cheap it's all in season right
now we also had a delicata squash that
starting to go bad a little bit figured
want to throw a feast for the guys they
had trouble though with the delicata
squash they couldn't get into a head I
do have something exciting to show you
guys well let's do a field trip over to
the orchard so in the last tour video I
did I was able to give you guys a quick
glimpse of the trees but I don't go into
too much detail here you can see that's
a good healthy chestnut tree inside that
tree too so things are starting to come
together
if you go to the other side of the Swale
you can see here's a nice black locust
you can see it got good healthy leaves
it's grown
ton so far see those thorns look out for
those guys power here's one that's not
doing quite as well still grown still
got some leaves so I'm optimistic as
they keep going up here though you'll
find a trees that you're even doing
better like this look look at this look
at this black locust all right
here's a height comparison for you gosh
it's yeah maybe eight feet tall that's
crazy
these trees are doing great it's
exciting really exciting last night I
was out here checking some stuff out
look what I found look at that
tada little little tiny elderberries
that's crazy right
I'd actually tried to pick off most of
the flowers this year so they could just
concentrate on growing but man that's
kind of exciting
like more seed than berry so they got a
little ways to go in terms of being good
to eat but I'm so excited about that
stuff going on with the orchard isn't
exactly what I'd hoped it would be
there's some stuff that's just not
taking so for example like right here
that should be an elderberry plant and
it is not an elder area plant it's just
essentially a patch of grass at this
point but when I was out here and I saw
that I got so excited I mean it's crazy
elderberries here on the farm I mean
that plant wasn't even a year old so
yeah I figured I'd share that with you
so pretty much eaten all the corn and
squash in the span of about 15 minutes
pretty impressive yeah so another good
day at the farm
so I've got the day off today so I'm
gonna fill my time by trying to put more
work in on the duck house trying to get
ready for winter
