Day 235: our fruit trees

Hello again,
Today I am thankful for our fruit trees. We have cherry, honeyberry/haskap, blueberry, saskatoon and apple trees. Then we also have a current bush and strawberry plants. We love fruit. lol I am thankful for them because fruit fresh right off the tree/bush is so much better than what you can buy in the store. It is also cheaper to grow your own than to buy it in the store. There is the initial investment into each tree but they more than pay for themselves in a few years. The only drawback to having our own fruit trees is that sometimes bad weather destroys the fruit. Our honeyberry trees are finally getting to a size where we have a ton of fruit on each bush and we are getting good at getting to the fruit before the birds too! lol The birds are thankful for our fruit trees too. lol We have a new crop of Honeyberry trees that are starting to produce fruit as well so it should be less of a problem if the birds munch on a few. :) I love fresh fruit. You can't get fruit any fresher than if you grow it yourself. So this is why I am thankful for fresh fruit.
