Mini Orchard and December Snow





Right after Thanksgiving, we planted our fruit trees. We now have two peach, two pear, three apple and two fig trees. Peaches are Elberta and Contender, pears are Bartlett and Moonglow and apples are Gala, Granny Smith and Pink Lady. Brown Turkey figs apparently do well in this area. We planted the figs in a "sun trap" on the south side of our beautiful shipping container. We also planted raspberries and twenty asparagus crowns. We ordered our trees from Stark Bros. Nursery as we wanted to attempt to get the highest quality for our long term investment.

We woke the other day (Dec.5th) to a nice blanket of snow! A freak for N. Georgia. So much for global warming, hooray!
