    Wow that's incredible Helo!
    Got seeds for trade?

    Nothing special, but what you need?

    Good list Helo. My list will have some similar entries.I'll put together a list of what we have out and post up here by the weekend.

    I think this will be interesting to see what all is growing in different areas. Multiple areas in particular.

    Ever thought about trying to get a patch of wild onions going? I have whatever the opposite of a green thumb is and even I could grow those. They take care of themselves and are great for keeping other critters away from more important things.

    It'll be the first of May before we can plant, but my perennials are:
    2 - Bartlett Pear Trees (dwarf, saplings)
    1 - Apple (unknown variety) plans to add two dwarf trees
    < 40 - strawberry (planted 40, some died) of several everbearing varieties
    4 - raspberry (expansion planned)
    10 - asparagus
    2 - Hawthorn (wild)

    2 ea. - cherry trees are also to come, and there is room for four more trees after that. They're accounted for, but I can't remember what we decided on.

    For annuals, we're putting in a grape arbor this year. From there:
    Vidalia onion
    White onion
    Onion greens
    Russet potato
    Sweet potato
    Red potato (maybe)
    Green beans
    Wax beans
    Roma (or similar) tomato
    Better boy (or similar) tomato
    Bell pepper
    Jalapeno pepper
    Banana pepper
    Hungarian wax pepper
    Broccoli
    Brussel sprouts
    Zucchini
    Carrots
    Celery
    Cabbage
    Lettuce
    Garlic
    Watermelon
    Musk melon

    I think we'll be adding an herb garden this year too, So I'll be expanding the list with that as well. All of the boxes will be in place either way.
