J...I'm impressed. Good for you. That is a lot of hard work and organizing. We grow beans, peas, beats, indian corn, pumpkins, gourds, collard greens, fennel, ever bearing strawberries, brussel sprouts, carrots, lettuces, hot and sweet peppers, cabbages, kohlrabi, and a variety of potatoes and onions really well. The rest, not so much! Our tomatoes strike out every year, as does eggplant.
Geo, check out Raintree Nursery. They are out of Washington state. I ordered a TON of stuff from them a few years back. They have a tree called a "sweetpit" apricot. The almond is cousin to the apricot and you can eat this fruit, pit and all. I bought gorgeous pear, cherry, apple, plum, nectaplum trees, blueberries (some of which are as big as a quarter), tayberries, kiwi vines, thornless blackberries from them...some asian fruits too. My chickens ate my hazelnut bushes a while back. The nectaplum tree has purpley red leaves all summer...it is a striking specimen.
Now I'm thinking I should bring my perennials to lovins. Our house boasts one of the best displays of autumn crocus. We have had people stop in just to see them, and request bulbs year round.
WOW! Do you have any pics? Sounds beeeyoooootiful! I love bulbs and they are hard to grow down here.
Who are you talking to? If it is me, I can't find my pics on my SD cards. They are on facebook, though. Are you on there Cindy? I dug up a ton of bulbs and gave them to friends last year. I still have a bunch...if they will survive TX heat, I'll bring some to Lovins.
No eggs in yet! We got hit with major ice yesterday and last night, so its on trees and wires and pretty heavy, now its been snowing like crazy for over an hour, so I'm paranoid if I put some in, the power will go out! My luck!
