Our Yard

Our yard continues to slowly improve (emphasis on the word SLOWLY). By the end of next summer, we are hoping that it will be where we want it. Here are some updates:

Andrew cleaning the vines off the cherry tree: They actually looked really pretty on it, but I am sure the tree is glad to finally be able to breathe.


Our baby peach tree. Isn't she so cute?

Tada! Our one pear from our pear tree. If there are any expert gardeners our there that have any ideas as to why our apricot tree didn't produce this year, and why our pear tree produced only one pear, please leave us a comment and let us know!


Our grapes- Yep, they're seedless! Aren't you jealous?


The mountains from our backyard

We were really worried that with the late start, our garden wouldn't produce. It has been producing zucchini like weeds (which is no surprise for Utah), but we were really afraid the tomatoes weren't going to make it. We have finally started getting fresh tomatoes from the garden. Delish!


My favorite update so far: an herb garden! We have Rosemary, Parsley, Oregano, Sweet Basil, Chives, Mint, and Sage. We have enough room for a few more herbs, so if anyone knows of any "must haves," some advice would be great!
