Doc,
The above sounds too much like work.
Secondly, the last time I planted edibles, I lost half my friends
for the following reason. When it starts, asparagus shoots up
one inch a day. Out of the goodness of my heart and not because
my wife informed me of the limit to how many times a week
we would prepare soup, I dutifully went out every weekend,
cut the shoots and took them over to our friends and neighbours.
Well one day I overheard the following:
"Don't answer the doorbell! It's Mervyn again trying to dump
his vegetables on us."
Since then, I have stuck to blossoms only. This keeps the wife
very happy and especially so when they are yellow/golden.
Here is what is on my yard this lovely September.
Concentrate on the beauty and ignore any distractions please.
