My baby trees in the backyard (planted last year) are flowering! This is such an exciting event in our household especially since I just gave up on tending to my succulents. Growing up, I remember visiting my abuelita, Sara, in her home in Juarez and always having pomegranates fresh from the front yard trees. I also remember visiting my father’s family orchards and picking apples (reminiscent of golden delicious apples). I’ve always wanted a backyard with fruit trees and I am so lucky that my husband agreed to have several fruit trees (I wanted 10 but we agreed to 4).

Marriage hint for home/yard decor:  Always ask for more but be willing to settle for less. #JK #sortoftrue

If I remember correctly we have a peach, nectarine, pomegranate and apricot tree…but I wouldn’t bet money on that being 100% correct. Another great reason to have trees is so that they can eventually provide some privacy on the side of your yard!
