Winter at Lapacek’s Orchard
Follow my blog with Bloglovin
It’s been pretty quiet on the blog this winter. I’ll admit – I was not a fan of the weather. I pretty much just hibernated all winter long – with a bit of quilting mixed in.
Jared, Frank and Diane did do LOTS of canning though!
We are all restocked for the 2014 apple season with all your favorite canned goodies!
Frank and Jared also got the orchard pruned. It was a strange year for pruning and much of it happened way later than we normally would do it. The super cold days though were not good for the trees to be cutting on them though.
Once it got warm and dry enough…it was time to put all the pruning's into piles.
Cedi, Jared, and I walked the rows and picked the branches up by hand.
Capri and Pip road their new unit…
and tied the branches they found up and pulled them to the pile. Hard work.
And…we had to check on our Christmas tree!
Saturday, May 3rd
8am to 4pm
Apple Blossom Days: TBD – I’m going to wait and see when the trees will actually be blossoming to have Apple Blossom Days this year. I should be able to give you all a weeks notice or so…
