Yup. I plant a garden every year. Roma tomatoes, bell peppers, yellow squash, and whatever else I feel like. I also put in a bed for the wife to grow strawberries, and we have two blueberry and one gold harvest raspberry plant. About eight years ago, I put in a Granny Smith apple sapling, and now it's about 13 or 14 feet tall. We harvested more apples right in front of our door than we knew what to do with last year. The wife was canning homemade applesauce, apple butter, apple pie in a jar, and all manner of things for weeks. I started inviting the neighbors over to pick their own.

Did you know that the ‘Granny Smith’ apple originated in Australia? It was accidentally bred by “Granny Smith’ who was an orchid breeder. I don’t know all of the mechanics of it, but you somehow need apple seeds or blossoms to breed new orchids.

Anyhow, my brain-pan holds useless data like that. And Freepers are always welcome to it, LOL!
