Everyone knows that winter is a great time for garden chores. Planting cover crops to nourish the soil, cleaning up debris to make room for new growth, pruning for the health of the plants.
In January we had a pruning demo covering the correct way to prune our fruit trees. Monica Maggio is a passionate instructor for the OSU Extension service. (more about her on her webpage: Core Fruit Institute). She came out and gave us a hands-on session about our trees, and how to care for our tools too.
The day was clear and cold. I love taking pics on days like this, the skies are so clear and blue. You can really see the bones of the gardens in the wintertime, being out there really fills us with anticipation and hope for the coming year.
I will let the photos tell the rest of my story. Enjoy!
