Well this year I have been too busy to do anything. So the wife is doing everything. I think it is mostly some Chinese cabbage. I did buy her some tomato plants and you'd think I'd at least peer over at them when I'm cutting the lawn to see how they are doing. But no it has always been eyes forward.
In past years I usually concentrate on kale, spinach, a little swissChard, and tomatoes. I had a big strawberry patch but I think I need to plant a new one as it has thinned out.
So this year I can only report on my non-seed stuff.
I probably have about 100 thornless raspberry plants. They are truly the best thing to grow. Very dependable. Zero maintenance and delicious fruit year after year. Had a whole bunch of blueberry bushes too but the winter seems to have gotten to them.
I have 3 varieties of grapes growing wildly. We'll see if the tons of little grapes actually turn into big grapes. A cherry tree that seems to have lost its graft. Will probably replace it with an apple tree (hmm or maybe an apricot or plum)
A peach tree (excellent tasting), thornless blackberries, a monster sized mulberry, and a grafted cherry tree that does nothing. I had a 5 in 1 grafted pear tree that didn't work out.
I actually prefer the strawberry topping smothered in blueberry syrup poured fresh on a nicely cooled home made cheesecake:

That looks delicious.
A coyote ran in front of my car today. 3PM in the afternoon. Didn't hit it but quite shocking to see one in Cambridge.
Did you catch that pair of F-16's roaring over the city at around 2;30 3;00 pm and around 3000ft? lol
I was sitting in my truck in Brookline and I hear that faint, unmistakable military roar and so I jumped out and ran to the middle of the street to get a clear view of the sky from the trees and timing was perfect. First one I could even see the smokey grey color of the belly and the pair of fuel tanks clear as day and a millisecond later the second one was perfectly sideways turning to catch up with the first one. They were so low I could clearly see the canopy and the sun reflecting off the 2nd one. 5 seconds they were gone. Some of the landscapers up the street were freaking out because we weren't sure why they were that low. The Pats game was much later that night and first preseason game they don't do fly-overs so it was a bit unusual. Not sure there was any other activity that warranted those Vermont birds to do a fly-over.
We see jets all the time, but that low over the city was very different.
No, I missed it. I heard plenty of construction noises and fire engines.
Fire engines. Reminds me of the great Andrew Dice Clay - "I'm with my kids at the park, all of a sudden there's 5 firetrucks flying by! I said to myself ey, you got a fire, go put it out do you have to let everyone know about it?!"
