orchard progress

This is a shot of my heirloom yellow plum. It went in the ground last year so it's not struggling as much this year. I try not to water anything but the garden. I want them to survive regardless of the weather. I got a single plum last year. I swear it tastes like liquid sunshine and exactly like I remember from my childhood. Ggrandma's orchard was my favorite for playing outside. You could hide out AND eat :)

This poor sickly thing has problems. It just went into the ground this spring. I have watered it a bit but not every week. I need it to develop deep roots. All these issues and it still spit out 3 pears. I hope it survives.
