Our ward had a church farm assignment today to help prune the orchard. The trees had actually already been pruned professionally, we just needed to help clean up. The kids really got into it and it only took about 30 minutes to clean a whole row. The modified golf clubs they have make it really easy to grab and drag all the branches and limbs into the center of each row so they can be eatten up by a wood eatting machine of some sort I suppose. It was really fun and we look forward to LOTS of peaches this summer so we can go out on another assignment to thin and then pick peaches (and maybe eat a few too). Last summer there were not many peaches and almost all the picking assignments were cancelled. But this year we have had TONS of rain and the crop should be very plentiful! Let's hope it's a good garden year too!
