Jon called me tonight and said that due to some logistical issues, he has to tell me what my birthday present will be rather than give it to me. Yes, my birthday is coming up! And he is getting me apple trees! I think espaliered apple trees will be very nice against the east wall of my house. Ever since I was a kid, I have wanted an espaliered tree, and apples will be a yummy addition to my garden. But I need to pick out which varieties I want, and we don't have a truck, so we might need delivery. Hence the logistical issues. But I'm still excited! Thank you, Jon!
