The Beggining Of a Mini Orchard

38*, 89% humidity, SW 16 mph wind, light rain, FLOOD WARNING

WOHOO! Phase one of the mini orchard is started :). I need to lay newspapers/cardboard down and mulch this area but as its raining, I did good just to get out there and plant them. The weather is expected to only get worse all weekend and I couldn't wait to get these babies in the ground. But fruit isn't the only reason for planting these. These will help give a little buffer between us and the road, not that it's a busy road at all but it will help it to feel a bit more private.

I planted my little cherry tree yesterday morning, when we had a tiny bit of sun between rain drops. I planted it near the veggie garden next to the shed. It will fill this spot nicely. It's a naturally small tree/shrub. It will be easier to keep the birds from the cherries here anyway.
Osa didn't seem to mind the damp weather as she ran all over the lawn while I worked.
