Fruit trees !!!!

Image
We received a huge blessing this week. My mother in law ordered us some fruit trees and this weekend the Apple trees came in. Now mind you I have never grown fruit trees before so this is all new to me. After some research we went out with the shovel  and started digging. Maggie even decided to help.  I was so happy it had rained recently because I really didn't realize how big of a whole I needed. 2 feet deep was a lot harden than I imagined.  So after a whole lot of digging  I  had 2 beautiful apple trees planted.  While laying in bed that night I got to thinking. Well worrying really, but all I could think was how frustrating it would be in someone ran over my new trees. I decided they needed posts that were painted light to place in front of them. So the next night my daughter and I spent the evening painting some signs to go on the posts. The end result ended up being beautiful and I am so glad I thought of it.

So gonna try this blog thing for others to see my garden. This is my 1st year doing a in ground garden and it's been one heck of a project. I've done container gardening in California and had a small raised bed garden last year in NE Ohio. Now we are settled in Northern Alabama  and I had the ability to put in a 25x30 ft in ground garden and it's been a learning process, to say the least.
