Orchard in a Box

My fruits arrived yesterday! I had no idea when I ordered that you could send live plants this way: I thought they would have to send a special delivery truck, like they did with my furniture. But they came by FedEx sealed up in boxes. Crazy.


 Fruit trees and grape vines
 Blueberry bushes
Strawberry plants. They told me to store them in the crisper drawer of my refrigerator until I'm ready to plant!

I'm taking a bit of a chance here, because I won't be ready to plant for a few weeks. But I had to order now, because the season is closing for ordering live plants, and they only do it once a year. As it was, a lot of places were already sold out. So for now, the strawberries are in my fridge, and the other plants are in a dark, cool room in the basement, sleeping peacefully.
