No not spam- LOL.  There was a typo though, it was a 60% off sale not 50%.  We are done now for shipping this year.  On farm sales either on a field digging or potted basis is possible over the summer and into the fall.  You or others can email me through the site over the next few weeks and request anything.  If it can still be shipped (not broken bud too much) I will make deal with that person if I can.  We need our cooler for spring and summer vegetables so the dormant stock needs to move to the field or be sold.  --Tom

I was looking at the stocks. I have ordered from you in the past. The seeds come with excellent instructions!

The antonovka apples appear to be $4.00 a seed. Is that a typo? I don't see any quantity noted. That would ordinarily be slightly below what I pay for rootstock! Might be worth clarifying on that item.

Hi, They are $4.00 per packet of 20 seeds.  It does say the seed count but I will put it in a better spot.  Thanks for the nice words and help.  It is a huge job maintaining the website.  - Tom

Here is a good source of plants, any others?  
Willlow - sx-61 Fast Growing Crafts/Biomass/Fencing/Poles https://jiovi.com/collections/earthcare-plants/products/willlow-sx-61-fast-growing

I’ve been reading about mason bees and bumble bees.  The masons seems better and less expensive.  Anyone have experience?

Greg B Smith wrote:Do Yall have recommendations for fast growing trees that will fruit.  I am primarily looking for tree growth for shade over our deck and gazebo. Fruit would be a bonus but not necessarily a must. This area will be surrounded by a food forest so at some point the full size fruit and nut trees will take over.  

I am in zone 8 and could transplant some willows and empress trees if no fruit trees will work.  Those are good for the bees and chop and drop once the big trees are established.

For your application I would suggest some nice grapes for fairly quick shade.  You could inter-plant with a nitrogen fixer of your choice and use bear berries as a ground cover.  For your zone I would suggest Somerset Seedless grapes,  male an female seaberries, buffalo berries, and the bear berries as the ground cover.  http://www.jiovi.com still has bare root, dormant plants and is shipping now.  
This would work if you want to add an arbor or wires to train the vines.  Just a thought.
