Hazelnut Trees

Last year I agonized about where to place some fruit trees in my yard.  I still haven’t decided what to do entirely and now I’ve just acquired two Hazelnut Trees from my grandpa that I have no idea where to plant either.

The thing is, trees are much harder to move around than oh say where you decide to plant tomatoes.  Plus, I have to think about how the shade will affect my other gardens once the trees are full grown.  Trees are more permanent structures and I just want to get it right.  And I’d like to figure this whole thing out so that I can hurry and get them planted soon!

Just Wondering

cancel out this?

You see, I, um, kinda thought I had put better drainage holes into that thing last year.  I didn’t know it would do this until all our snow melted off.   But by golly, I’ve got the Mosquito Magnet Liberty Mosquito Trap MM3000. Yes sir!  And it has drastically cut down on our mosquitoes during the summer.  I love it!  Mine is even one that covers an acre {you’re welcome all my fine friendly neighbors!} but do you think it will be as effective if I’ve got my very own mosquito breeding ground?    Hmmm.  I’m thinking that barrel needs some better drainage, what do you think?
