Stump Farm

Before I forget, I did graduate from the 2009 Master Gardener Class. I have a badge with my name on it for proof.

Well, I have put in my application to the WSU Extension Service to see if they will let me take the Master Gardener course. Hopefully I am not biting off more than I can chew. The class runs for sixteen weeks, one class a week which is eight hours. If you graduate you are required to put in fifty hours of volunteer work. All of those accepted (winners) will be notified on the 10th of November. The anticipation is growing by the day. 

The leafs have fallen off most of the brush (salmonberry) so I will be able to get out into the woods and see how many of the new trees have survived. Didn’t get too many planted last spring. Probably fifty or so Shore Pine. They were three year old trees that had spent one year in our nursery. It gave them a head start on the brush. They don’t much care for the shade.
