My son love apples. So in 2005 we got him an apple tree for his birthday. I know that it may seem like an odd gift to give an eleven year old boy, but it was actually very fun. It can take up to five years for an apple tree to start bearing and we […]

I remember when I was little going to my Great Aunt Cora’s house in Commerce, TX and eating pomegranates from her trees. She had two or three lining one of those old driveways that was just two concrete strips with a strip of grass in between. Anyway, I fell in love with pomegranates way back […]

Who knew that the elderberry was such a pretty plant? The bush is about 12 feet tall and has gorgeous blossoms on it. It is actually considered to be an herb with numerous superstitions surrounding it. In the Middle Ages, legend says that the tree was home to witches, and that cutting down one would […]
That is one of the lines of one of Samantha’s favorite books – “Jamberry” by Bruce Degan. We LOVE our blackberries. I’m not sure exactly which variety they are, but they are big and gorgeous and taste incredible. And the very best part – they are thornless! These particular blackberry vines came from my mother’s […]
