Mole Hills Come in Handy and Pruning 100+ year old apple trees

2/6/2011

Our pasture is the home of one or more very industrious moles and we put their hundreds of hills to good use this weekend. We need soil for the raised beds in the green house, so we took the riding lawn mower and trailer out in the pasture--Mark shoveled the the mole hill soil into the trailer while I drove. We (or rather Mark) shoveled three trailer loads from mole hills alone. 
We also had a consult from Jeb Thurow from the South Sound Fruit Society regarding how to prune our very old apple trees. Seems our trees have alot of 'water sprouts' which are thin branches that grow straight up. We need to prune those over time--like 25% each year for four years. That will help the real branches continue to grow.

Do not keep anything for a special occasion, because every day that you live is a SPECIAL OCCASION.

YouNoodle’s scores and rankings are based on a sophisticated algorithm using information pulled in from thousands of online sources: traffic, mainstream media, funding information sources, the blogosphere, and other key factors.

TechCrunch/YouNoodle have tried their best to avoid any OverValuation for any startups and believe that the scores are pretty much inline to the achievements for individual companies. However, they plan to revisit scores one a regular basis.
