The little trees got watered about twice a week during the drought with the drip hoses, each time for 2 hours. There weren’t enough hoses for the forsythias.

This time I will start by the driveway and work along the line.

This North Star cherry tree has a lot of growth from the bottom, none in the middle and a little from the top.

![Little trees  2. York elderberry crop July 2020.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/goldenoakfarm/nyWuyP3J-Little20trees20-202.20York20elderberry20crop20July202020.jpg)

This York elderberry is the very best of the whole bunch. It has many flowers and buds. It’s also grown right up and out of its cage.

![Little trees  3. Goodbarn elderberry crop July 2020.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/goldenoakfarm/1OuwCItE-Little20trees20-203.20Goodbarn20elderberry20crop20July202020.jpg)

These Goodbarn elderberries did not have much growth, but have flowered.

![Little trees  4. Allegheny serviceberry crop July 2020.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/goldenoakfarm/RI9y9aHL-Little20trees20-204.20Allegheny20serviceberry20crop20July202020.jpg)

The one of the trees to do the least is the Allegheny serviceberry. It’s much the same size as it was a month ago.

![Little trees  4. Allegheny serviceberry's comfrey crop July 2020.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/goldenoakfarm/Vvewy7lW-Little20trees20-204.20Allegheny20serviceberrys20comfrey20crop20July202020.jpg)

The comfrey planted next to it is also not doing well. This is not the one that got buried. A month ago it had been small but doing fine.

![Little trees  5. Adams elderberry crop July 2020.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/goldenoakfarm/kzq5Duob-Little20trees20-205.20Adams20elderberry20crop20July202020.jpg)

This Adams elderberry has grown up out of its cage and has a couple flowers.

![Little trees  6. Lapins cherry crop July 2020.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/goldenoakfarm/wWhLIRQ7-Little20trees20-206.20Lapins20cherry20crop20July202020.jpg)

The Lapins cherry has nice big healthy leaves and is doing well.

![Little trees  6. Lapins cherry's comfrey crop July 2020.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/goldenoakfarm/3IyIeKP9-Little20trees20-206.20Lapins20cherrys20comfrey20crop20July202020.jpg)

The comfrey planted by the Lapins cherry is also doing very well.

![Little trees  7. Adams elderberry crop July 2020.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/goldenoakfarm/l1g6H6zZ-Little20trees20-207.20Adams20elderberry20crop20July202020.jpg)

The Adams elderberry on the north side of the Lapins cherry is doing well, but not as well as the one to the south.

![Little trees  8. Goodbarn elderberry crop July 2020.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/goldenoakfarm/r2AoTUwn-Little20trees20-208.20Goodbarn20elderberry20crop20July202020.jpg)

This Goodbarn elderberry is doing the worst of all the elderberries. But it has managed 3 flowers.

![Little trees  9. Contender peach crop July 2020.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/goldenoakfarm/NG51r5LC-Little20trees20-209.20Contender20peach20crop20July202020.jpg)

I had been worried about the Contender peach a month ago. It wasn’t looking so good. But it has really filled out and I think it will be ok.

![Little trees  9. Contender peach's comfrey crop July 2020.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/goldenoakfarm/iu8C1CdP-Little20trees20-209.20Contender20peachs20comfrey20crop20July202020.jpg)

The comfrey at the Contender peach’s base has really taken off! It even has buds.

![Little trees  10. York elderberry crop July 2020.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/goldenoakfarm/wzjCvJo8-Little20trees20-2010.20York20elderberry20crop20July202020.jpg)

This is another York elderberry and I wish I’d gotten more of them. They have done very well.

![Little trees  11. .Juneberry crop July 2020.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/goldenoakfarm/bPRIBAe2-Little20trees20-2011.20.Juneberry20crop20July202020.jpg)

This Juneberry had berries that weren’t ripe a month ago. I’d hoped to taste my first Juneberry but the birds got them first.

![Trees  sugar maple mulched crop July 2020.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/goldenoakfarm/k9Bhd4XO-Trees20-20sugar20maple20mulched20crop20July202020.jpg)

The last of the trees is this sugar maple. It finally got mulched and is doing well.

![Little trees  west most forsythia crop July 2020.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/goldenoakfarm/dG7xLE2i-Little20trees20-20west20most20forsythia20crop20July202020.jpg)

The forsythias didn’t get watered during the drought. They all survived, but have not grown at all. Now we’ve gotten a lot of rain, I hope they resume growing.
