My orchard in rain

My BTE orchard benefits from the moisture.

some of the trees need work as not on all the branches are corrected, not all of my jugs were good enough to hold the branches and correct spindle shape, I'll need a different wind resistant method

this is how we get there, my muddy road from past years is all fixed and can handle marge heavy trucks with wood chips.

that's BTE over concrete, and it's not doing badly at all

  

 right above the concrete is this now, would not know...

This is BTE wind block, did not cut the grass for autumn yet. Will drop all the seeds right there.

spiral garden benefiting bees and native insects

 you see, dry season makes our prairie native grass solid brown, and yet I have some green too

Some trees in windblock had to be replaces and they made it through summer, replaced 3

Some caragana planted at the end of May did not like it

 And this one with no irrigation planted in April
