What's in the Orchard

 You can just scroll past this post. It's just a list for our information. We wanted to document what we planted in the orchard and backyard. The nursery owner, Jaimee also asked us to record it for her since many of these trees are heirloom trees. We have a hard copy and a map, but I wanted to keep a backup here.

The grandchildren are going to love going to the orchard and picking apples to eat! It sounds like you'll have plenty of fresh fruit to keep you healthy, happy growing!

That is one well planned orchard and will also produce some nice fun surprises for you--lots of hard work--but--some day you will have 'fruits' of your labor to enjoy!!! Love all your posts--
hugs, di
