The Orchard

Top priority after purchasing our home was to plant trees in our orchard. Fruit doesn't start growing for a few years so there could be no delay in getting them in the ground! We took breaks from home remodeling to dig holes and stand out in the back and water them faithfully. It was well worth it, as they are all doing great! Even though they are still pretty small almost all of them had blooms on them this spring and it makes me anxious for the day they will start to produce.

Our orchards consists of: 2 Kieffer pear trees, Bruce plum tree, Granny Smith apple, Fuji Apple, Elberta peach, Reliance peach, Van cherry and Royal Ann cherry tree. This year we will add a second variety plum to complete the orchard.

Putting in the trees last year with our helpers. The girls were especially sweet, singing "Let it Grow" from The Lorax as they watered the trees.
