Engineer or Fruit Farmer?

What happens when you give a guy some land and his wife asks him to plant a few fruit trees? He goes hog wild at a local nursery and brings home an orchard!

So now we have and hope to keep alive: 4 blackberry (2 brazos berry, 2 dewberry), 3 blueberry, 2 satsuma, a peach, asian pear, fig, green apple, plum, avocado, and a partridge in a pear tree. Okay, we don't have a pear tree...or a partridge...but we might get them... *wink wink*

Hopefully, in a few years we'll have more than we can eat and will be able to share with anyone willing to take some fruit off our hands! Just bring your own bucket, basket, bushel, pick-up truck...whatever you have on hand!

(Before they were all planted, minus the avocado tree because we just got that one today.)

We're super excited about the orchard!
