Growing Things

Paul had a great idea to plant a tree this year so that the tree would always be the same age as the baby. He's always wanted a winesap apple tree (for making pies), so we decided to go ahead and plant one. The baby actually got a 2-for-1 deal, though, because it turns out you have to plant another kind of apple tree - a winter banana - to pollinate the winesap tree correctly. So, we now have two new apple trees growing in our side yard (while our little girl is growing in my belly).



We also planted some raspberry bushes on the other side of the house - just for fun. :) The first fruit started appearing a few weeks ago!
