Green thumb?

I am definitely not good at growing stuff. If a plant is high maintenance, it will die at our house. We tried to plant some watermelon and pumpkins and that was not a success at all. But a couple years ago, we planted a couple of fruit trees. I picked out a nectarine and Travis got an apple tree. We found out later that the apple needs another apple to pollinate it! Ugh....high maintenance;) We have been talking about getting another tree but never have. Well, for some reason this spring, our apple tree has apples!!! Somehow it blossomed all by itself! I guess we will find out if they are any good pretty soon. And I just wanted to thank my honey for keeping our yard looking so nice. He is a good mower;-)

Wow! That is cool! Watch them so the birds don't eat them before you get to.

How cool! I want fruit trees so bad. We rented a duplex when we first got married that had apple trees. Chandler loved to throw them like baseballs.... I think trees can be pollinated when the "stuff" floats in the air.

Haha...that's what we were thinking. That's the only thing that could have happened is stuff floating in the air;) We haven't tasted them yet but they look like they might be ready soon!
