Looking good buddy!
I tore out my garden this weekend and fed my chickens for weeks to come! I added 2 wagon loads of beans and one of squash/zucchini after I took this pic. I tore down all the temporary fencing and mowed. I should have everything ready to plant by the end of next weekend.

Planted a peach tree spring of 2018...it was about a foot and a half tall. This year it’s over 5 feet tall and we got our first peach.
We have a plum tree that hasn’t produced at all and it 7 or 8 years old. This fall I’m going to cut it down and replace it with another peach tree....also going to plant a cherry tree. Our blackberries did well this year TOO! Need to get more raspberry plants. Grapes didn’t produce for second year in a row so they gone! That’s where I’ll put some blueberry bushes. Hopefully by 2021 I’ll have a good production of fruit.
One of the last runs of the year today. I had the idea of making a smoked hot pepper mustard that I could use as a base for a Carolina-styled mustard BBQ sauce. I made that happen today and will bring some mustard, the BBQ sauce, to Strouds to pair with @Beentown's meat. I also made an awesome batch of salsa, so I'll bring a quart with me to Strouds as well. Was a good day of homesteading. Even had 6 dozen eggs to take care of!
Beautiful stuff right there Jesse, nice haul and work!
You married? You’d make a great wife! 
Nice work man.

Very impressive Jesse! Always admire your tenacity when it comes to things such as this.
Local greenhouse and market has last years fruit trees 35% off. Got 2 gala apples and 2 harvester peaches. Trees look good, but certainly need to be planted ASAP. Good thing for a "quarantined" hobby farmer to work on!

Today I knocked down 10 silver maple to open a meadow for 3-4 more fruit trees.

With the grocery stores being sold out of half the goods...perhaps that will move my wife closer to eating canned venison. At least she now has an understanding why I garden, hunt, and can.
