Boundary Lines, Surveying for future plantings
According to the deed we’ve got just under 1 acre of land. However last year I wasn’t able to find any of the steel boundary markers. Using the survey and a metal detector last year I turned up nothing, all I knew was the 1 marker on the southern border that is visible above ground.

Pre-Summer Fun in Cazenovia
Spent a nice Friday lunch in Cazenovia. We’ve been talking of going to Empire’s Farm Brewery for awhile and finally made it out.

Our First Apples?? Only time will tell but there are over 2 dozen pollinated Red Rome Beauties growing. We may get some shattering this year with the tree only being 1 year old (since planting) but it is great to see some fruit forming on even one of the trees. It’ll also be interesting to see how this tree grows comparing to the other ones as it will be putting energy into the apples on top of new growth.
