It's that time of year...when Jon gets squirrely because seed catalogs arrive in the mail. "Can we get these...let's try this variety...look at those plump berries...perhaps we can find room for a few more fruit trees..." These phrases are like mantras repeated in the house until an order is placed and the pages of the catalogs are sufficiently dog-eared. We only ordered 2 catalogs this year but received others as well. Hmmm...someone must be selling our information? For a few weeks now Jon and Paul have spent hours perusing the catalogs and drooling over the pictures. There must be a support group for those with a spouse addicted to these catalogs! Now that an order has finally been placed, I did an official count and we now have 26 fruit trees, 14 blueberry plants, and a bunch of other miscellaneous fruits such as kiwis, blackberries, raspberries, honeyberries, etc.! We may have 17 acres but we are soon running out of open space for everything; so Jon decided to bring the trees inside...we have tropical trees now...lemons, limes, oranges, olives, and tangerines! I can only imagine the amount of fruit there will be in 10 years....
In addition to the catalogs, Jon is making a seed inventory. Surprisingly we only have a few vegetables to purchase this year because we saved so many seeds last year.
