We have been so lucky to inherit a beautiful yard with lots of mature trees and gorgeous plants and flowers. There are quite a few mysteries though as we know absolutely nothing about this stuff.
We had no clue what one particular bush was and had talked about ripping it out since it took up a good chunk of the backyard. I'm so glad we waited because as a couple of weeks went by, we realized that we had a major apple tree on our hands!
It looks like the tree has been so heavy with apples it is almost bent over on its side. Mark trimmed tons of branches and poor little apples off (all for the greater good, i know) to lighten it and has it propped up with 2x4's right now. We're hoping to slowly train it back straight.
But how awesome, right?? It's been amazing watching them grow over the past couple of weeks. They are such cute baby apples right now...but they're getting bigger every day. I'm not sure what kind they are, other than they're green. I hope they taste ok!
I already have plans to make everything apple related when they ripen. So if you have recipes..send them my way!

That is so cool!
You could always do a pie or just cut them up for a snack. You'll have to report back on the taste... Hopefully it's good! =)
They look like Granny Smith. I hope they are! Yum! That is so cool!
