These wild cherries will produce edible fruit. They are a little sweeter than classic pie cherries, and there aren't very many, so we leave the seeds on the river bank in hopes that more trees will come up.

I'm going to plant more rhubarb this year. There was a plant on the riverbank in a shady area that wasn't doing very well, so I moved it to the bed in front of the red cabin, but it still isn't flourishing, so maybe a different variety will do better. Years ago, Jondude told me to plant it next to a sidewalk so the lime leaching out of the concrete will enrich the soil.



Last year I finally bought a bleeding heart, and it did well, unmolested by the woodsy animals.



But the generator was installed right next to it, and the electricians trampled the heck out of my poor plant. I'm hoping the roots are okay.

My indoor vegetable seeds have sprouted, and I will drive them to Colorado next week. I've got some of those water wall things to protect the seedlings when I put them out. The red color is supposed to be good for growth.

I found this label from a bag of perennial rye grass seed in my dad's farm paperwork. I thought it was cute, so I scanned it.





In our area, perennial rye grass is usually planted as a cover crop, - it controls erosion and is plowed under to nourish the soil.
