I left my garden sorrel response hanging there, didn't i! It's done well for me once it was behind a fence and had less rabbit and no deer pressure. The wood sorrel (
Oxalis spp)
Tivona Hager didn't like and
Joe Banks loves mostly grows for me in locations where we have pets at liberty to relieve themselves, so i haven't really tried it. I'm hoping to get some of the native
O. violacea established along with the local waterleaf
Hydrophyllum virginianum. If those both start thriving, i'll be delighted.
I didn't list fruits, nuts, and berries. I've got pawpaws (a purchase selection and a number from seed), native red mulberry
Morus rubra, Dunstan heritage hybrid American chestnuts (one from a seed picked up at an NC chestnut orchard, one purchased), an American persimmon, heritage southern apples, a Chicago hardy fig, a number of rabbit eye blueberries (i probably should have gotten Southern highbush because i have them in a more damp location), and thornless blackberries. Most of these were planted the winter of 2018-2019. The figs, blueberries, and blackberries have produced but are still maturing. The rate wasn't enough to outstrip my ability to eat them to preserve any. I'm wondering if there might be fruit on the chestnuts and mulberries this year.
I'm not trying any new plants this year: i'm trying new techniques and locations for the ones i've grown. I think i may not have had good room for solanaceae plants to rotate, and i'm breaking all new ground for them. I'm adding purchased amendments, giving up on the theory that we can create enough
compost to really make a difference.
I am trying mushrooms this year -- we have plenty of fodder for our wood chipper and if i can have mushrooms speed wood chips to be good soil amendment , that will be a win.
