No food growing in my yard, but I just cleaned out some very interesting stuff growing on the cheese in my refrigerator. Such is my passion for "Science."

I've given up until I can build a fence. We have too many deer who consider my yard (and the neighborhood) their giant salad buffet. It takes all my efforts to keep them away from my flowers and bushes.

Glorious garden season again! We went by the community gardens and were shocked to see many people planting. Late March in South Dakota - this is really strange. I found something new this year Goji berries. Plus I plan on adding sugar peas and the usual tomatoes. My raspberries are now in their second year so I should be able to share with the neighbor child lol.
Time to unmulch the plants and flowers (I hope) and let them begin to grow.

Today I put some pretty viola flowers in my garden greens and had them with some fresh chicken eggs from a friend.
Greens seem to do great in cooler weather! Next winter I will put in a lot more of them. They are just flourishing. And the wild mustard is just delicious.

Also, the violas managed to overwinter wonderfully. I am going to have to put in much much more. Pretty AND edible!

The water mint is starting to leap out of the pond and run around the yard. We have wild strawberries. Our oregano is back, and so is the sage.
I planted potatoes yesterday.

Connie, Is water mint different than regular mint?
How did you plant the potatoes - in a mound?

This spring I have food stamps, which allows one to buy food bearing plants anywhere food stamps are accepted, so, for example, at Walmart.
So i just picked up an apple tree and a persimmons tree. I need to plant those this week. They are leafing out nicely.
I am thinking of getting these next:
Another tomato plant some more lettuce kale or collard greens radishes maybe bell peppers maybe an artichoke
This is in addition to the stuff i already have that overwintered and the strawberries, chocolate mint and tomatoes I put in last week.
