Things I Planted This Summer

I've had a busy summer...but have managed to have a little bit of fun and have managed to do a few things around the house....and I planted some things! I don't have the best of luck with plants of any kind, but I please take a look at some stuff I have planted...and hopefully I will have pictures later showing you how these things have GROWN!!!!

This is the muscadine vine. I can hardly wait for this little guy to produce some big juicy muscadines! Will probably be next year though.
This is one of two Austin Blueberry Bushes I planted this summer. Again...will probably be next year before any fruit is produced.
This is the pomegranate tree. The kind you find in the grocery store??? I do not know the answer to that! 
I planted all these guys in the upper reaches of our back yard, a little too far to drag the garden hose, so I carry buckets of water to the plants about every other day. Sometimes they really looked parched. The muscadine vine fares better, because it is planted at the base of some trees where the leaves have accumulated, and I think the leaves prevent evaporation, so the ground stays moister. I am truly hoping to reap the rewards of all the water-toting next summer!
