peaches. It is separated by a largemouth bass pond and picnic pavilion
Back orchard is old apple trees then a large smallmouth bass pond.
We have a beautiful rolling setting of farm fields, orchards, and

| We use a minimal regiment of herbicides, fungicides and insecticides. I do an early season application of Round-Up for weed control. I use Orbit, Topsin, and Captan for brown rot and apple scab control. I use Imidan for insect control. These are the safest of all the chemicals available. I have a private pesticide license but I have not used nor do I plan to use any Restricted Use items. Because of this we have a good population of predatory insects. |
