    I didn’t recognize Diana until I heard her voice. So much weight loss, new hair cut, no glasses. She’s been in heavy clothes in recent videos. Lookin great….I’m jealous.

    I do hope ur fruit trees survive and start producing delicious fruit for u. Loved the walk-thru of the old homestead, cant imagine how rough it was to live in Alaska at that time. Diane, luv luv ur hair.

    Where did all the roots from that tree go? 😂 From our angle it looked like you plucked a tree from a video game. 😂😂😂

    Very enjoyable video. Those look like some nice tree already have some good size to them and will produce if not this year I'll bet next year. I just did a grafting class and grafted 2 apple trees and 2 plum trees now I just have to wait and see if the grafts take as it was my first time attempting it. Good luck with your trees.

    • @AnAlaskaHomestead
      @AnAlaskaHomestead  5 місяців тому +1

      Grafting has always fascinated me. I hope your trees do great.

    I love the idea of adding fruit trees to your property. Hoping to do the same here someday. Dianna you are looking really youthful today. Just lovely! What a cool old homestead too! Thanks for sharing. 😊

    I said this last year when you visited the fishing camp. You are missing your calling. Very enjoyable to watch you both visit different homesteads, family businesses and hunting/fishing camps. Keep that up and watch your channel soar.

    Fingers crossed those trees grab on and grow for you. Root stimulator might help. May have to wait to use it on the next batch of trees if you go get more. I think you have to use that stuff down at the roots when you plant them. I'm not sure. Have to look it up. Currents are yummy. I think a lot of ppl use them for jam. Love plums. Enjoyed seeing another homestead there. Love watching you guys travel to other places. If I were in your shoes, I'd be camping on different spots by the water now and then enjoying campfires and fishing. Of course, I know you guys have a lot of work to do during your short summers. 😊

    • @AnAlaskaHomestead
      @AnAlaskaHomestead  5 місяців тому +2

      We hope they grow to Susan. I love going to visit different places. I definitely would like to do more videos like that. I’ll have to look up root stimulator, thanks.

  • @pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358

    Whether they produce well or not, it's always great to have fruit trees all around for birds and bugs. When they do fruit... bonus for you! Hope your having a great weekend B! Thanks for sharing.

    • @AnAlaskaHomestead
      @AnAlaskaHomestead  5 місяців тому +2

      I agree. I hope we grabbed enough roots for them to live. Time will tell.

    One of my favorite jams is black or red currant. I don't know what they taste like fresh.

    Looked like a nice day for a adventure/ visit. I bet you were glad you had the tractor to dig the holes for the plants after having to use a shovel to dig them out. I hope they take and you have years of fresh berries and fruit from them. Have a Great week and Thanks for sharing.
