And then there were ... none, no, wait, one.
The local Food Lion Grocery store had fruit trees for $13.99. There were several varieties of apples and pears and I think even a cherry. Well, I was debating getting one for the yard since we cut down our Holly Tree. We need some shade for the yard.
So, Jenn and I finally decided to get one. We loaded up us and Happy in the Jeep and went to the closest Food Lion. They had a sign up that the price was cut to $6.99. And, yep, you guessed it -- the trees were all gone. Back to the house to drop Happy off and back out again to the other Food Lion.
We got there and they had about 6 trees left. All Cortland Apple trees. I never heard of Cortland but it was better than nothing. It's planted in the middle of the yard now. I looked up Cortland and it seems like a great apple.

Oh, and I borrowed my uncle's small rototiller, so I can put in a bigger garden. We might have corn on the cob this summer yet. :)
