How exciting to have so many trees!<br /><br />Think about energy usage when deciding whee to plant trees.<br />"Deciduous trees planted on the south and west sides will help keep your house cool in the summer and allow sun to shine in the windows in the winter."<br />from this document: www.energysavers.gov/pdfs/energy_savers.pdf<br /><br />Another possibilty is using some of the smaller ones as a border to a garden for wind protection. Just some ideas.resahttp://graffitireality.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-36095955524144524852012-03-15T11:23:00.350-05:002012-03-15T11:23:00.350-05:00Hey hey!

Still, it was an awesome deal. I added up everything that I remember and I bet I spent $100 at most on all of them. Not a bad deal. Now if we can just get them to produce! LOL!

I need to see exactly how far it is to the farthest point from the house where I'd plant the trees. Of course, someday, with acres to work on, not sure what we'll do then.1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-44665297369935089422012-03-13T18:38:48.308-05:002012-03-13T18:38:48.308-05:00We have a 300 ft hose.

It's the cheapest way to do it, ha. Not sure I can grow pomegranate either, but I'm going to give it a shot. This is called "Wonderful Pomegranate", it's supposed to do well most anywhere. I'll definitely have regular fruit updates during the year.

We bought our home in fall of 2009 so first spring I was like a mad bunny hopping around planting everything because like you I went on 80% sale in November and stocked up on trees and bushes! And I got more this year to plant as I have new walnut trees, mulberry, persimon, fig and two more apple trees to plant.
