Lyanda - Thank you for visiting. We are really lucky with our space, but we really had to tuck trees in every available spot to get enough space for 11!

So many people want to plant fruit, but don't have the gorgeous space that you have--I recently posted on the perfect small-yard fruit tree in my blog, The Tangled Nest: http://thetanglednest.com/2009/03/the-perfect-backyard-fruit-tree-four-asian-pears-in-one/ Best of luck with your new orchard!

Mangochild - If you ever come to the west coast, we will share our bounty with you. And the soda bread... really good still. Usually soda bread gets kind of blah after a few days, but it is still good 5 days and counting. Rebecca - We do have a dehydrator already. Phew! We put a fig in about 4-5 years ago. We got a dozen or so figs the first few years. It really started to produce last year. Pretty soon we'll be making fig compote, fig chutney, fig everything. Eugenia - Matt actually took pictures of me with trees last weekend digging in the snow, and head to toe in mud. Will post if he remembers to bring his camera home from work.

What a bounty you'll be having - do you have a dehydrator on that wish list too?! We planted 2 figs last year and can't wait to start plucking, eating, cooking, can, and dry. Well, maybe not this year, but in seasons to come. Congrats on all your new arrivals =) wonderful! What a bounty you’ll be having - do you have a dehydrator on that wish list too?!

I wish I could find Melrose apples here, since a good storing apple is always in demand and it'd be good to get some new flavors. Oh, the Irish soda bread is on tap for this weekend, I'll keep you posted :-) I don’t have the space for fruit trees, but I enjoyed reading about the different kinds.
