Preparing to Expand the Orchard in 2021

I'm getting more fruit trees, and I need to figure out where to plant them.
Peach trees, apricot trees, cherry trees and blueberry bushes are all arriving in mid-January, and I need to figure out where I want to put them. But before I do that though, I need to clean out my current orchard and try to finish getting rid of that stump.

Nuwe Blare Homestead is a homestead in the Arizona desert. We (try to) grow our own food with our desert garden, we raise chickens and ducks for eggs, and we build the things we need. Homesteading in the harsh Arizona climate is not easy, but we are learning how to use the resources we have at hand to accomplish our goals. We're a South African-American family, so we occasionally share recipes for South African dishes.

Those bushes probably will have really deep roots.

I discovered that as I was digging them up! Super tap roots, and they seem to also be connected via their roots too. I'm just going to have to go back another day and dig them out.

@@NuweBlareHomestead I think they are what we called 'desert broom'... If they are...you may not want them at all. They can get huge and are really hard to control, they have millions of seed and spread easily. They don't require a lot of water and are rather invasive.

@@kellymahan861 Ah yes, you may be right. They do already seem to be spreading. I'll keep an eye on them.
