apple leaf again

Just because I think it's so pretty, here's another photo of my kid's Apple tree!

And here is Isabel herself standing next to it. She's quite proud that at a year old the tree is almost as tall as she is.

I need to find a big tub or planter to put it in so it can grow up into a nice little shade tree for our patio. It's been tending to flop over so I've tied it with a bit of ribbon to a makeshift stake (the main stem from one of last year's sunflowers. Those plants are tough! I can hardly cut them down when they're done).
