I lost all my sunflowers to deer last year. This year they’re tucked safely in the back yard…where I only lost a quarter of them to deer. Grr.
That said…beautiful! And visited today by a tiger swallowtail, no less:

Just ordered Caroline, Heritage, Latham and Prelude raspberry bushes; Choctaw, Navaho and Prime Jim blackberry bushes; and an Elliot blueberry bush.
Now all I need is a wheelbarrow and dumptruck full of compost.
If all goes well this summer, we should have a few pounds of blueberries from last year’s plantings, and an odd raspberry or blackberry. By next year we should get 10-40 pounds of berries. And by 2012 we should have so many we’ll need a chest freezer.
Gooooood times.

To be planted this spring!
