Here's to the next generation enjoying pecans, apples, and cherries.

What is going on with my Forest Pansy Redbud? The main trunk broke 3 years ago during a wind storm and the "stump" grew back, but now the leaves are green and purple.
What's going on?
Is this a tree I can braid or just prune it back this fall?

Snuck in a quick "harvest" in a 15 minute break between showers; this is going to be a great year! These are just the ones that are ripening early!

Got rid of my accidental Bradford Pear tree today.
I am getting ready add to my "backyard orchard" by planting a couple pecan trees, a couple cherry trees, and decided to plant an Asian Pear tree in the Bradford's place.
I try to landscape with edibles; I really wish more people would do this.

Love seeing how our hobbies collide; gardening and beekeeping.
It's really cool hanging out with some of my girls at the pool today.
