Old McDonald Had An...Orchard?

Today, I bought an apricot tree. Well, a dwarf apricot tree, to be exact, of the Blenheim variety. Blenheim apricots are noted for their superior taste when compared to other apricots, even gaining the nickname "King of the 'cots," as well as their poor shipping record due to thin skin. Rarely will you find these treats outside of California...unless, of course, you come to my home in Brooklyn in 2 years.

Today was not just a day reserved for the purchase of immature stone fruit trees that shan't bear produce for a couple of years. In addition, I'm also the proud owner of 15 forty pound bags of topsoil. Boo-ya!
