Bearing fruit

Fruit is flowering!
One of my blueberry bushes. We just planted the 2 bushes this past fall.

Here is the main strawberry plant. We planted it last spring, cannot wait for FRESH strawberries!

One of the apple trees we planted this past fall is flowering as well, but we will not get any fruit this year. We have to pluck the fruit real early because the branches cannot support the weight of the fruit this year. It needs another year to let the trunk/branches mature and be able to bear the weight. We have been crazy busy with the garden. We planted pickle cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes and feed corn. We still have a little more to plant. Our upside down tomatoes were ripped out of their buckets 2 nights ago with the horrible wind/rain storm we had. We should have left the buckets on the ground with the tomatoes right side up for a week or 2 to let the roots mature more before hanging upside down, oh well lesson learned. So we start over and since I have still been growing seedlings we shall have another shot shortly. :) I have also been doing some research for next season already. There are a few things I want to try that I know we can't do this year. Happy Growing! :D
