The fruits of our labors

On Saturday we decided to take out some bushes in our backyard and replace them with fruit bushes. We bought 2 raspberry bushes and 1 grapevine. The kids were all very excited about planting fruit until they found out how long they would have to wait to actually see any fruit grow. :)
This is the before picture. (look to the left by the wall)

Everyone helped with the planting process.

The after pictures. Can you even tell the difference from the before picture?

We look forward to our fruit harvest. Whenever that may be!!

Thank you for planting fruit. I am dying for an apricot tree. Nickel actually chewed the last tree we planted up! Jason and his Dad planted a tree in our yard, thinking I'd be so happy but it doesn't do anything. No shade and no fruit! What a waste, and of course Nickel has not chewed it up. Dumb dog! Dumb tree!
