Meal plans and the week ahead

Three more fruit trees have been added to the orchard. We now have added 1 balaton tart cherry, 1 redhaven peach, 2 sweet cherries - bing and emperor francis, and 1 braeburn apple tree. Add those to the existing 2 bosc pears, 1 oriental pear, 3 bartlett pears, and 7 or 8 random apple trees that I haven't identified yet. I think we're in good shape. I've been doing lots of research into backyard organic orcharding, but I still have a long ways to go. I will be focusing on that research a lot this week. I just feel like I need to get my plan up and running... like 3 weeks ago... since the bartletts have been flowering and the others are soon to follow. Controls need to be established now if I have a chance of beating the issues in the pre-existing orchard (apples and pears).

This week will be another fun week. Today is low key, just doing what we do. Tuesday I have Zumba. Wednesday I will likely be in Detroit for meetings. Thursday is a big day at work with our presentation and hearing on the DRIC. We've been working for years now and it all leads to Thursday. We'll get an up or down vote in the next month, so its going to be pretty intense for awhile. Friday is my flex day, which means Kindermusik. I think Carson and I are going to go visit a cow share farm to check it out after Kindermusik if its not raining. Saturday we are heading out to Holland for Tulip Time in the morning - assuming its not raining. Then we'll be heading back to the Detroit area to hang out with some friends.
