Also took another step for the #pandemicpond filter barrel

The pipe from the pump just entered the 2" PVC "hole" as I wasn't sure how it would all work.

Now that things good, I attached the pipe permanently ($12 for the three pieces of the adapter). Ill cut it down to size at the next rainfall.

This will also make the anti-siphon valve work.

meanwhile... in the backyard... 🤯 🪏

Orchard update. I need to start picking black caps, the apples are slowly getting thinned at the rate the geese will eat them, and there are peaches and a few Brooks plums.

None of the pears or apricots set fruit or the other plum tree. I think this Brooks plum was probably a year older, it had big roots when I planted it.

I'm going to try to graft some cuttings of the apple tree from my childhood onto one of the apple trees I bought and planted. The place I bought my trees from (Cummins Nursery) has a guide. I appreciated their simple introduction to the reasons behind grafting. 1/3
