    Pettys Orchard, 1 Homestead Rd, Templestowe, and 7th and 21st April

  Our twice monthly Wednesday meetings at Pettys usually involve some discussion of  issues in the orchard. Future netting ideas and additional plantings are on our minds at the moment. There will also need to be adjustment of the nets and checking of apples - those that are ready will be picked and tasted! Plants may need watering and we will check the dripper system if it is running. We will be tasting and picking apples for our last tasting event, and moving mulch around.
