The little trees got watered about twice a week during the drought with the drip hoses, each time for 2 hours. There weren’t enough hoses for the forsythias.
This time I will start by the driveway and work along the line.
This North Star cherry tree has a lot of growth from the bottom, none in the middle and a little from the top.
This York elderberry is the very best of the whole bunch. It has many flowers and buds. It’s also grown right up and out of its cage.
These Goodbarn elderberries did not have much growth, but have flowered.
The one of the trees to do the least is the Allegheny serviceberry. It’s much the same size as it was a month ago.
The comfrey planted next to it is also not doing well. This is not the one that got buried. A month ago it had been small but doing fine.
This Adams elderberry has grown up out of its cage and has a couple flowers.
The Lapins cherry has nice big healthy leaves and is doing well.
The comfrey planted by the Lapins cherry is also doing very well.
The Adams elderberry on the north side of the Lapins cherry is doing well, but not as well as the one to the south.
This Goodbarn elderberry is doing the worst of all the elderberries. But it has managed 3 flowers.
I had been worried about the Contender peach a month ago. It wasn’t looking so good. But it has really filled out and I think it will be ok.
The comfrey at the Contender peach’s base has really taken off! It even has buds.
This is another York elderberry and I wish I’d gotten more of them. They have done very well.
This Juneberry had berries that weren’t ripe a month ago. I’d hoped to taste my first Juneberry but the birds got them first.
The last of the trees is this sugar maple. It finally got mulched and is doing well.
The forsythias didn’t get watered during the drought. They all survived, but have not grown at all. Now we’ve gotten a lot of rain, I hope they resume growing.
