Didn't you say we moved all the rocks?

Time to finally set out the orchard! Which should be straightforward ... except in our yard, where rocks grow over the winter. And grow exactly where a tree is supposed to go. After a little time with a shovel and bar, it became apparent that the old-fashioned approach would at least take all day, and maybe fail outright. Heavy equipment will save the day...eventually. So we'll be skipping the two rockupied spots for now. Even where big rocks aren't, plenty of little ones are, and digging is slow. Fortunately, the orchard space has far better "soil" than most of our land...
