It is so nice to finally have some stuff going on around the homestead that I can share with you guys :) Last week Jeff finally decided that the Pine Tree in the front yard needed to come down. I've been asking for a few years for fruit trees but he was reluctant about it. I'm not sure what changed his mind but one day at TSC we saw the trees and he said grab them, who am I to argue with the man!
This little guy is a golden delicious which is Jack's favorite. They didn't have many varieties unfortunately.
And this is a red delicious that is Molly's favorite. They will cross pollinate with each other I guess and so there will be apples. I'm still reading up on the whole deal but I know we have a few years before apples appear.
As you can see from the top photo Jeff decided to take the tree down by hand axe to see if he could do it. He did rather successfully (albeit to the wonder of many neighbors who offered us their chainsaws). If you look at this post you can get an idea of the tree a bit. It was large in the middle of the yard and really blocked the house a lot. We left the stump on purpose, Jeff has an art project in mind for it. Since I got my new trees finally I can't say anything about his art.
