A third apple tree has joined the mix

Yesterday was another clear fall day with nice temperatures in the mid-60's (Fahrenheit).  Since Wifey was holding her own with The Bear (aka the baby), I took the big kids out to the field to plant another tree.

The Boy was a big help.  The Girl was very enthusiastic but was best suited for the role of cheerleader from the seat on the riding mower.  Everything took longer than the day before -- we planted one tree in the time it took to do two the day before -- but it was more about teaching the kids and getting them excited about having an orchard than being productive.

Regardless, another tree is in the ground.  This time it's a Honeycrisp.  Three trees to go!
