The path of our land development has been roughly thus:
History (-Dec
03), before the hard work.
First
6 months (Jan-Jun 04), prepare the
land by cultivation.
Second
six months (Jul-Dec 04), plant some
trees and watch them grow.
Next
six months (Jan-Jun 05), prepare for
the next round of planting...
Round
two (Jun-Dec 05), plant some more
trees.
Settling
into a routine (Jan-Jun 06), start
taking responsibility for day-to-day care
of the land
Half
way there! (Jul-Dec 06), another round
of planting.
Looking
back and looking forward (Jan-Jun
07), managing the first 20 acres
Just
like starting over (Jul-Dec 07), we
start on the eastern side
Taking
a breather (Jan-Jun08), consolidating
our efforts
What...
nothing to do? (Jul-Dec08), our first
winter not planting in 5 years!
Familiar
territory (Jan-Jun09), another summer
of managing the orchard, and a modest
crop at the end of it!
Stability
and busy-ness (Jul-Dec09), things
start to come together
Small
steps (Jan-Jun10), we move to the
farm and gather a (very) small crop.
And periodic updates on our native regeneration
project and the vineyard.
