Plant a Tree or Two, Fruit Trees.

I love fruit trees! I also think that what better tree to plant than one that gives back to you and your family, right? We have two apple trees and one pear tree planted. They are still very young trees, but I can't wait to pick apples and pears with my little ones. I remember how fun this use to be, and I want to share this with them.

It is the time of year to plant trees, fall time. So, get out there and go find a nursery and buy a couple fruit trees.

Now, if you want to save even more and not buy the trees. Plant an apple seed in a pot indoors and let it start to sprout over the winter and plant it early spring. The only trick to planting in spring and having to endure the summer is, that you must water the tree properly and keep critters away from the roots. Squirrels will dig up seedlings and eat the nut part, so be on guard :)

Do the environment a favor and plant a tree, do your family a favor... make it a fruit tree, and enjoy the family time of gathering and cooking with the fruit from your tree.

Enjoy!
