I got three apple trees planted, a Fuji, Yellow Delicious, and Anna (very early variety). The Anna is already blooming.

Needs more pruning, but that will have to wait until fall/winter.
Also bought some shiitake mushroom plug spawn. I've been thinning some sweetgum trees so had plenty of logs. Only had time to drill and plug two today.

Four small sacrificial logs for the base (to help keep other fungus from competing with the shiitake) then 4-6 inoculated logs will go on top.

Radiator in my '64 IH tractor sprung a leak last week, so had to pull it. Nearest radiator shop was an hour away--all of the new units are crappy unrepairable plastic and aluminum, so demand is low for repair of old brass and copper radiators. While I had much of the sheet metal off I've been cleaning it up and replacing some rusty hardware.

Old two row disc harrow also coming along. Rebuilt two axles with new 18" discs.
