Plans for 2012


New Perrenials
+ Replacement Juneberries - we had a couple perish. I think less than 6. Maybe only 4 or 3?
+ Pecan - We've had a few trees fail to prosper. Need a worthwhile replacement. I suppose i really mean Hican. When planting trees it pays to plant what you really want rather than what is convenient.
+ PawPaw!! - Jung seed now carries some of the best varieties.
+ Strawberries - everbearing, because they will provide a much better market opportunity. (Junebearing in southern Indiana actually means May bearing most years, which is prior to when market opens.)
+ Gooseberries - They are awesome. I wanted to till in our (lame) blueberries and plant them there. Pooka gave another smaller space instead - which will increase our planting by 3-4x.
+ Rhubarb - This and strawberries will fill the western garden by the hill.
And Almost---
+ Heartnut trees. (I should just do this...)

Garden fare -
