In the spring of 2020, when I emerged solely responsible for maintenance of the estate, I asked Gary Schneider, from The Macphail Woods Ecological Forestry Project, to come and help me get the lay of the land (among many other interesting activities, Macphail Woods offers landscaping consulting).
One of the things Gary recommended was pruning the apple, cherry, and plum trees that make up a small orchard in the back yard.
I immediately proceeded to not do that.
This summer, Lisa’s uncle Brian, an architect and polymath, made a visit to the back yard to survey our sagging carriage house.
After we’d discussed its possible futures, Brian recommended we prune the apple, cherry, and plum trees that make up a small orchard in the back yard.
I immediately proceeded to not do that.
But…
Today I did.
