Are you within the sound of my voice?

Second annual Peach Tree Planting Day will begin at 9 a.m. Feb. 26 at Vogel Orchard in Fredericksburg, Texas. If you are interested in attending, call the orchard at 830-456-2337. You can also send an e-mail to info@vogelorchard.com

Dig and Let Dig is planning to be there. We attended the first one last year and almost froze our toes off at the (mostly) outdoor event. But we learned lots of valuable lessons, and the peach trees we planted are thriving.

Registration for this year's event cost $45 and includes information, a barbecue lunch and three bare-root peach trees. Additional trees are available for sale. If you want to bring a family member or friend, pay an additional  $17.50 and they can come, too. Registration slots are limited to allow for better interaction. Reservations are taken on a first-come, first-served basis, and the Vogels say they had to turn away some people last year.
