More gardening...

My dream of being more self-sufficient is getting closer to being reality...I took a bit of our economic stimulus check today and ordered fruit trees! I figured it made ultimate sense to take the money intended for a short-term shoring up of the economy and turn it into long-term food production for my family. I ordered 2 apple trees (Pixie Crunch and Pristine), 2 pear trees (Seckel and Honeysweet), 2 peach trees (Belle of Georgia and Elberta), a Meteor pie cherry, and a Stanley plum. I'm so excited!!! It will still be a couple years (or more) until we get to reap the rewards in fruit, but just getting the trees in the ground will be a huge first step.
