Fruit Trees

Our fruit trees looked amazing in the Spring. Beautiful, healthy, and lots of fruit.

Then the drought set in:

And things didn’t look so good.  We eventually lost 3 pear trees due to a combination of the drought and fire blight. 

Jim ordered three more pears that are resistant to fire blight and they’re being planted tomorrow along with 9 new blueberry bushes (you can never have too many blueberries)!
