We've been on a bit of a spending spree for the past month or so, now that the weather is a little cooler and planting a new tree isn't an automatic death sentence. Meet the latest members of our family:
Our new Haas avocado to keep our Bacon company:
A little Mexican lime tree awaiting its final home, the third of four citrus trees we're looking to line our walkway with:
Heritage raspberry brambles to take up residence in the new fancy schmancy trellis that the Irish Boxer Husband built:
The raspberry came from the sweetest old man at the farmer's market who sets out huge plants for only $20. Considering the number of canes shooting up from the pot and the tons of developing fruit still on the vine, the patience-challenged person in me says we got a deal!
How awesome! Many times I find myself wishing I lived in a climate where I could have avocado and lime trees. It would be heaven :)
ReplyDeletePS - So exciting that you are finishing up your chicken coop! It's so hard to just walk by chicks without bringing some home, so I'm impressed with your will power haha.
As funny as it sounds, I often envy your climate too... real seasons... not trying to grow things in what is essentially the desert... trees and creeks?!? ;-)
DeleteI wonder if you could grow citrus if you brought it inside during the winter. The blossoms smell AMAZING.
Can't wait to bring some chicks home! We were so close to adopting a few, it really took everything I had to walk away...
