I guess I just can't help myself. Along with picking up a couple of seed packets, yesterday I brought home rootstock for a peach tree (Florida King variety, a self-fertilizing and "old time" strain, according to Lynn), two American hazelnut shrubs, and five berry canes: two more raspberry varieties, a boysenberry, a dewberry, and a blackberry. I also grabbed a 3 pound bag of Russet seed potatoes.
The hazelnuts and the peach tree are in pots next to the front porch, until I figure where they'll be safest and happiest - hazelnuts are apparently attractive to squirrels, turkeys, and deer. If we need to, hubby can put the doors back on the old chicken coop and we can put them in there to protect from marauding wildlife.
