At least in my opinion it was an investment.
We have an orchard, with about 12 trees in it and room for about 12-16 more, plus a small vineyard. Each year we try to add more to it. Yesterday we went to Lowe's and bought 1 plum, 1 peach, 3 grapes and 2 blueberrys. We will try to plant them between rain showers today.
I say its an investment, as it will raise the property value of our farm to have the orchard and vineyard, and we also will be getting the fruit to eat, can and perhaps sell.
So far we have several apple, 3 peach, 2 plum.
We lost and need to replace cherry and pear.
We also have 2 types of grapes and blueberries, and are planning on putting in strawberry beds in the next week or so as well.
$ invested, rather than spent

Thought of nuts? Walnuts, pecans, hickory...yum.
And with all that flowering...bees.

My wife is excited about all the pies and jams she can make and I of course just love veggies, along with the kids. YUMMYYYY! God bless all!
