    Planted a small orange tree in the yard. Dug a big hole. Mixed topsoil and citrus fertilizer. Expect to see first fruit in 3-4 years.

    Mother’s Day gift for my wife.

      Setting time limits is smart. Now you’ve GOT to get married and have a kid within the next couple of years. Smart.

        Or you could do it inside out… get married then get a fruit tree, so they HAVE to stick around just to get to try the fruit. Trick is keeping it going for a few decades. That’s where fruit-tree LADDERING comes in. Plant a new one every few years. Wait till fruit. Rinse, repeat.
