Spring 2021 Update

 Last fall we planted some ladino clover along with many bags of fescue clover on this land.  It has established itself pretty well.  The irrigation was recently installed.  Today was a big day in that the first pawpaw trees were planted.  Nearest the road and the far neighborrs is a Wabash tree followed by 9 seedling trees that I will plan on grafting to Wabash especially if the fruit does not taste good.  I dug holes deep enough for the tap roots, filled the holes with water, held the tree in place as I scooped a sand and topsoil mix in the hold along with some of the native soil.  Field fence was bent into a circle and covered with burlap for sun protection.  Easy to move push in poles secure the fencing in place.  Click images for larger.
