Pruning...again...

Every year, same thing...prune the fruit trees...
Every year, same exclamations..."WOAH!! Is any of the tree going to be left?"
Every year, same questions..."are you pruning too much off?"
Every year, same answer (posed as a question)..."Do we get any fruit?"

Still, it is amazing how much gets chopped off. In fact, the cherry trees were the most pruned because some of their limbs are hanging over the neighbors fence or hanging over other trees. The asian peach trees were fiercely trimmed, and the others...it is a crazy process...looking forward to the harvest in the fall tho!!

Here's a question: each blossom if fertilized becomes fruit...right?

The last 3 pics were an experiment. I tried taking a few pics and then "fixing" them. I don't know that I did very well...I really want a camera that I can do the cool focus thing. Julia knows what I am talking about.

Mikenna wanted me to take a pic of the dandelion. I was out spraying ours the other day. Mikenna asked why, and I explained that we don't like them and we needed to kill them. She was a bit exasperated, "But mom!! They are beautiful!! We should grow MORE of them!! See!!" (She pointed to the neighbors across the street who had a lovely lush lawn with beautiful yellow dandelions ALL over.)
