It's a go

Appears as if the final "yes" for Harvest Stewards' first garden has arrived. We'll begin digging and planting on Monday (17 May) at Latonia Baptist Church, with the assistance of Boy Scout Troop 17. Pics later.

And speaking of pics, here's a little bit of what I have to get into the ground here at the homestead now that our "last frost date" is upon us:

That's a load of peppers, tomatoes, elderberries and goldenberries.  That last one, Physalis pruinosa is a great little garden berry, related to tomatoes and peppers (family Solanaceae).  It's such a shame that they're not more popular.  I once bought some at a farmer's market in Brisbane (Queensland, Australia), but other than that, I've never seen them for sale anywhere.  You can eat'em right off the plant  or dry them into little raisin-like bits.  Good stuff.

Correction: I have indeed found goldenberries for sale...  At Whole Foods, one may find goldenberry "raisins" from Kopali. 

Still, the raw version of goldenberries, I've never seen sold here in the States.
