New Trees

I'm so super excited.  We planted three apple trees, one granny smith for my pies, one gala and one fuji tree.  We also planted two Dynamite Crepe Myrtle trees in honor of our angels.  When the other colors start coming in we will plant those for the other kids.  We have two peach trees ready to be planted but since the temps were going to drop this week we put them in the house and will plant when the chance of a freeze is lessened.  They were already blooming and we didn't want to kill them.  The trees were container trees so I think they were 2-3 years old already.  I can't wait to start eating my own apples and peaches :).  I've added a picture from the internet of a crepe myrtle for those that have never seen them.  We also started the planter boxes for my garden.  Originally it was going to be two small and one big box.  Hubby got really excited and now it has grown.  But I will post more on that in another post.  I had alot of fun designing my gardens and I will have even more fun planting them.  I will post more pictures.  Hubby is also going to build a fence and gate for the garden to keep it safe.
