this is a great reminder of how easy it is to get started gardening or starting a nursery. even though only 1 out of every 20 might be a "great" eating apple...you are doing more good than you know by continuing on and improving every species of apple. Plus you are having fun, and if you have children, you can teach them part of the cycle of life. It's therapeutic to grow things, helpful for the next generation of humans. It also shows an optimism for the future. It solidifies a belief that you and people who will be here after you can enjoy literally "the fruits of your labour"
@cavemanrob well said thank you I couldn't agree more. I don't have children but who knows if we get to leave this earth the next owner of this house may have one and hopefully they enjoy every tree in here.
