A typical onion variety and day length chart would categorize onions as "short-day" (bulbing with 10-12 hours of daylight), "intermediate-day" (bulbing with 12-14 hours of daylight), and "long-day" (bulbing with 14 or more hours of daylight), with specific varieties listed under each category depending on their light requirements for bulb formation; for example, "Vidalia" is a short-day onion, "Yellow Globe" is a long-day onion, and "White Bermuda" could be considered intermediate-day.
Jony's seed chart.
So it is more than just variety and soil type.

My red grape will have about 10% of the clusters with one or two individual berries having seed.  This did not happen on the property where they originated but does happen on This property which also has a seeded variety though not close by.

Google also tells you juglone tolerant plants.   If you look it is mostly what you want to grow so it may just suppress the weeds so is beneficial.

Put out the call for a Wheaton Lab rat with a tough hide, willing to slog through the snow, tend fires, record temperatures; for the permaculture science record.
That is what I appreciated in past winters.

I am just south of you on the Key peninsula,  Take Sedgewick to Lake Flora to Dickerson south to Pierce county.  see my contact information in the signature line.

The issue is client centered health care verses clinician centered health care.
There is a current campaign  by some pain experts to  acknowledge that the client is the expert on their pain. The  clinician is only expert in posible causes and treatment that you do not have a problem it may be appropriate to tell them that they do not appear to be up to date on pain science.
I stick to the mantra that pain is the body's message to the conscious mind that something has to be do. ne different.
If you don't know what to do different. I am available for  line . see my signature line.

 I just tell them (if it is what is going on) that it hurts enough I can't relate it to a number. if it is below what I would call a 5, I probably wouldn't be in front of them.

As a therapist that is what I want to hear.  Record keepers want a short cut.  In the group practice I was in the instruction was 10 is where you started where are you now and above 10 is acceptable.  That allows one to have a meaningful personal reference and the practitioner to know if they are making progress.

Will pull some yacon soon will get some pictures and start a thread.

So I am pruning the grapes do you want the pruning's?.   They are the red grapes I sent to Wheaton Lab.  they are mostly seedless but occasional larger berries with seed.   I make rases out of them.  I lost my Tomson seedless when I moved but there  is a limited amount when I prune the one gifted to my friend.  You can PayPal me for the postage and whatever you feel is fair.

I have also found grape leaves are browsed by my chickens so if a plant was allowed to establish enough, low hanging leaves would be pruned by your hens! The trick now is keeping them from scratching down to the roots...

Comfrey is very resilient so as long as the rotation period is appropriate it should be no problem.

When I inherited the farm from my sister the chicken and duck runs were under grape arbores for arial predator protection.  The grape vines have very deep roots for water and surface roots to feed on the decaying litter and manure of the chickens.  with a constant supply of fresh material being added to a stationary run they never scratched deep enough to cause a problem and every fall the run received a fresh layer of fallen leaves.  The tips of the vines need to be reduced in the summer so they would be a chop and drop addition.
