Below are some photos of how the plants are progressing, despite our lack of knowledge about gardening in general. So far, the only crops "lost" are the apples and pears (not pictured below). Now that we know what winter moth looks like, we'll know what to do about it next spring. For now the trees will grow but we won't harvest from them.
Those hoses you see in the photos? That's our automatic watering system, configured and installed by MLM. Of course it started to rain right after everything was hooked up and the skies have not yet let up.
Believe it or not, we haven't taken photos of everything. MLD is pampering two small cherry trees and one peach tree. MLM is fretting endlessly about three containers of figs.

Thanks to Matthew Cunningham for answering all of our gardening questions with a blend of patience and wit. Many thanks also go to Martin Lucyk and his tireless crew who planted everything you see in the ground -- edible, ornamental or otherwise. MLM takes credit for anything in a pot.
Yes, next time we'll have photos of Ashley and Adam. But aren't you happier knowing that the A-team might have access to some A-list produce?
