Here is a set of pictures that show our method of planting trees.

Gopher basket in place, soil packed into space below tree, spread roots out, make sure tree is at proper depth.

Recent appearance in the garden.

These are the beets coming up, hopefully the carrots will not be far behind. We are glad we took advantage of the warm weather two weeks ago before the rain returned. This will give us a big head start on these two important crops. We have found if we plant beets and carrots plus turnips at regular intervals throughout the year we can always have them waiting to harvest fresh. A truly important part of self sufficient gardening. 

First fruit trees planted this year.

Stone fruit!
