The Blairmont Apple Project

 October 15th is a bit out of off season for starting to bloom. Of course our Dorsett old and Anna Apples never bloomed at all. Though our Centurion Crab did set a small handful of tiny crab apples. This whole year has been out of whack. Of course I think flooding played a role to. Our now 9 month old Brown Turkey Figs just set out round three of fruit. Albeit a small amount.

  Greetings! Been a while. Been tied up with family concerns and then; Helene! A scary event for sure. 86mph winds to this side of Georgia. Just a county up AND over; they got it way worse then we did.  While we certainly had some damage; folks west and north of here got it much worse. And the poor soles in NC.  Hard to believe; not a single Apple tree pot/bag/tree took any damage. Well from the storm. Had a serious bug problem. And I think I over sprayed.  Thought Old Fashioned Limbertwig died. But it too came back. I had wondering if my P.2 trees were going to dormancy. I had read they do that. But today they too are putting out new shoots. Lastly I have a goodly pile of rootstocks to plant for stooling. But I will let them get the latest growth spurt though.
