Fruit Fun!

I'm such a lazy blogger! I've got photos lined up from months ago that I've planning on sharing with the world but wasn't able to work up the energy to upload them until now.

I love our backyard. When we first moved to this house in 1998, the grass was dead and the only living things were an orange tree cut to look like a poodle and three apricot trees. Unfortunately the apricot trees all died of root rot. Over the last 15 years, my grandparents turned the backyard into a beautiful garden full of edible fruit, veggies, and leafy greens. We currently have lemon, cherry, apple, persimmon, white peach, and pomegranate trees. Up until last year, the pomegranate tree didn't yield any fruit. My grandpa grumbled something about "male flowers" which I didn't understand until I noticed how very little fruit the tree had. (Ohhhh yeah...We learned about this in 8th grade science!)

 

The flowers are beautiful regardless and I can't wait to eat the pomegranates that did grow!
