    It's also fun in salads or salsa style things, to freshen the flavors a bit.
    I got tomatoes in the ground, the herbs are coming, all fruit trees bloomed. Some squash, some melon, some corn (not showing yet) and baby okras that will go in the ground after Pittsburgh. Nasturtium and wildflowers are seeded and sprouted too. And I planted two paw paw saplings last fall, and at least one of them is alive! I am rooting (no pun intended) for the other one as well.

    Great variety going there as always. Paw paw tree. Do you plan to eat the fruit? I'm pretty sure certain butterflies use it as a host plant.

    I finally got my potatoes in. Purple and yukon gold. Put them in bags and covered with dirt. Might have crowded them too much but at least they are in. 
    All plants look happy!

    Last year’s strawberry plant has come back, so far there are two green strawberries growing.  The small parsley plant has come back too.

    I would love to eat the fruit but I am aware that it may take a couple of years. Butterfly host is even better! Yay on the potatoes, we still have to get ours in too. All after Pitt.
