    You farm is really starting to look like a farm and I am sure that the Byrd house is loving all the new and wonderful things that you are planting and pretty flowers that were there, we can feel the old place smiling at the new life you are giving her.

  • @betty8173
    @betty8173 3 года назад +1

    Well done, Robert, well done! Always a good day to plant fruit trees! Applaud your efforts, but you actually can prune a tree, especially a fig tree, to keep it to a pickable height. God bless you with continued strength as you restore the Old Byrd Farm!

    Love how your planting fruit trees. We have a small orchard for some years and been a learning process. If you get apple or pear keep in mind many get cedar blight from cedar trees. The asian and kiffer pear as well as arkansas black apples do best. We learned the hard way. If you can get stone plums they grow great in south. They can be invasive like privet. They come up from roots. We just mow our sprouts. We train a few into larger trees. We have a lot of southern blueberries! We lost our figs this winter to -8F. Good luck on your plantings. God bless you!

    Good afternoon. I am guessing that the trees that you planted will be just fine. The soil they are in is looks great, and that is very important as you probably know. I saw a lot of progress on the Byrd Farm. That is tiring work. You deserve a big pat on the back! Thank you for keeping your viewers informed...

    That will look so nice when you clear out the fence on the road side. Yes, that one is in bad shape...

    3:54; this statement is why i just subbed.
    you might need some woven wire cages staked around your plantings as deer protection 'til the trunks get about 3 inches across, adding some height to them as they grow. my yard is a bottleneck for them & it's the only way i can keep them from destroying my plantings. (r.i.p, turkey fig bushes)
    that & the retired & armed vet who sits patiently in our old chicken building every fall... :D

    Trees and rain and fire Oh My!!! No question why a Fella had a migraine. Wisteria killin' off gear-box seals, Godzilla sized peach trees, funerals for trees that went before...Good Lord! My recommendation for the rainy day tomorrow is....a fella needs to sit and relax. Have a brew or two, put his feet up and watch a movie. Something cheesy like those sci-fi classics from the 50's. Your hard work is evident. Nothin' wrong with taking a day for yourself.

    Robert, watch History Hound Detecting video, Who were they? Graves found in the north western mountains of North Carolina . From 5 months ago. I caught this today and when researched the old graves the family was Byrd. He shows his research at end. Lists 16 children. Maybe your Byrd family. ? Anyway, Great trees your planting. Beautiful.

We just ate up the last of our 2020 berries last te week. Every year they produce more and more berries. We have to get to ours every morning before the wild birds get to them.

    Robert, greatto see the beautification of the farm. It is really starting to shape up now. For some reason I had the thought of a claw, hook arrangement to fit to tractor to rip up those bloody vines. So I'll be every interested to see what you have purchased. When it is dead I guess it will rot away.

  • @MillerMeteor74
    @MillerMeteor74 3 года назад

    Blueberries require bees and other pollinators. Hopefully there's no problem with that in your area. They also require acidic, damp soil. So if your soil is acidic they should do fine. They grow wild around there. The berries are yummy, as long as you get to them before the wildlife does. :D

  • @belindagray3005
    @belindagray3005 3 года назад

    Put pine needles around your blueberry plants for mulch it will make them grow faster. Something about the nutrients from the pine needles is what the berries need. Course you can put that pretty mulch on top of the needles.
