79 Pawpaws in the Ground

Just 21 more to plant after going out every day and planting 9 or so at a time. The orchard has really turned out nicely at the bottom of North Trail. The earth is red silty loam which is pawpaws (Asimina triloba) preferred soil.

Our wheel barrow full of the supplies we used to clear spaces and plant our pawpaw seedlings.
