Your welcome Raven! Glad I could help and yours does show now where you could be emailed. I checked. :-)

#4 - Asparagus "fern" ( not actually a fern because it flowers) -I have tons of that in my yard and am trying to eliminate it. Even in a pot, it will produce highly viable seeds that the birds will spread. Very difficult to eliminate once it spreads, because it has tubers and THORNS. It is classified as invasive in Florida, and its only redeeming feature is that it feeds birds. As others have already said, you may want to consider tossing it... All the others are bonus plants! I consider that clivia to be a very good catch. Avalon

30 something lbs of wild blueberries in the freezer. I picked in the overgrown field where I grew up. Had a big drama when my little dog wandered off while I was picking obsessively. 26 hours later after many hours of friends and neighbors searching he deigned to bark and I found him deep in the woods truly stuck. Relieved and mortified. Whew. Blueberry muffins for the neighborhood tomorrow. Tomatoes are coming in - Sungolds, Oregon Spring, Magic Mountain and Príncipe Borghese so far. Peppers too. Lots of broccoli - Piracaiba is a new favorite. Squash is going nuts - got through a cucumber beetle infestation - next infestation is holding off. I put up an small archway and the squash is going UP. Cucumber may be swamped by the squash vines - poor planning on my part. Haricot vert bush beans are about start producing. Napa and Toscani kale. Leeks, carrots and cabbage are coming along. Lots of herbs. My peas are looking miserable - I mean to pull them but they are still producing a bit. Lettuce needs to be pulled up. And I need to plant some fall crops. It is very dry in central Maine right now.

Well, I have 200 asparagus crowns, two raised beds of strwberries, 100+ garlic plants, 36 raspberry plants, two fig trees, three pear trees, a plum tree, a peach tree, 4 apple trees and 2 cherry trees, a couple of gooseberry bushes. The figs/pears/plum just got planted this year, so they are too small to produce. The raspberries are loaded with berries, all small and green, it's a couple of weeks away for those, same for the gooseberries. We ate asparagus several times a week and put some in the freezer, now that's done for the year. Oh, and I did pick rhubarb and send it to a friend because I had no freezer room after putting a whole beef and a hog into the freezer(s). So far, it's been mizuna and more mizuna, the asparagus, a few strawberries, the garlic scapes and selected thinnings of baby bok choi and bibb lettuce. Right now I'm growing Red Norland potatoes, Kennebecs, leeks, 8 varieties of tomato, sweet peppers, 6 varieties of hot peppers, aspabroc , brussels sprouts, watermelon, 3 colors of carrots, two colors of beets, okra, cucumbers, zucchini, collards, kale, bok choi, romaine, Bibb lettuce, mizuna, butternut squash, spinach, daikon radish, Blue Hokkaido squash, pink half runner beans, cranberry beans for shelling, green beans, Mirai sweet corn, Pepita pumpkins and three colors of pumpkins for Jack O Lanterns. New to me is the aspabroc, Daikon, and some blue pumpkins called Jarrahdale. Last year was the first year I grew the pepitas and blue Hokkaido (also called Kuri) , and I was impressed with the long keeping ability of the squash, so I kept seeds from them to grow again this year. South end of garden with 3 Red Delicious apple trees between the south and north sections of garden and two peach trees in front of the barn (which needs paint!) North garden, containing beans, corn and pumpkins, corn is "knee high" if you use MY knee as a standard, LOL. Cherries will be ready to start picking this weekend, I think: And I should have pruned those peach trees when we did the apple trees, because I can't reach the top branches to thin the fruit. There are so many that they'll be small and have less flavor. Quantity is not necessarily quality, as we all know: Oh, and I do not think that all these "improvements" are improvements at all, except that they've improved the efficiency by which they can gather information and market to us. I'm still struggling with even starting a thread. Annie
