since they help hold moisture in the summer and act as windbreaks in the winter. I was just out doing some watering (we've got cukes, which like a lot) and I actually noticed a single, solitary cherry on one of the cherry trees, and a few apples starting out on the one tree. I'd seen the one apple bloom, but I didn't see any buds for forever, was sure I wasn't going to get anything. So now I'm making sure to water that tree as well. I want to make apple butter, darnit.
