One of the berries. I actually have 5 that seem to be taking. These are brand new plants.

Gaspe Flint Corn seedling closeup. This one has striped leaves. That's wonderful because it means there is variability and diversity.

Another one of the berries. This flower will take.

Freckles Lettuce seedlings. I have tons of these.

Just for the setting here, this is the hill behind my cabin about 200 feet. It has no name, so I named it Orchid hill. Yes, this is a forest I live in. For decades, actually all my life, my fond desire was to live in the forest near the shore, with Redwoods. These are not Redwoods. Those are 40 miles north of here, but I have a double trunked Redwood in my driveway planted perhaps a dozen years ago. The shore is a lakeshore.

The wild Dewberry I planted. I have never seen one of these flower or fruit, but they sprout all over the place. These may well have separate male and female plants, but it should make some kind of flower at some point. The Deer eat these thorny plants and they keep regrowing.

Quinoa, variety called Colorado. Little seedling.

Thanks Desert Lady. It's a Kodak m1033, about 3 years old, 10.2 mp, Retinar lens. Most are in closeup mode, and all are cropped. I sure wish there was a setting for manual focus, and a setting to bracket exposures. But it does take sharp photos usually! I usually compose the shot with the intention of cropping so the photos load faster.

I took so many photos today!

What a lovely setting! Looks awfully shady for growing veggies... I guess you must have an open area? Beautiful pics!

Lesa, this is the clearing and my new tractor and trailer. Those are the sticks in the trailer that I made the tree trellis thing out of today. Inspired by Sweet Miss Daisy's much better one.

And thank you Heather. I got the seed for this special Gaspe Flint Corn, very rare and hard to get, from Thistlebloom. That was so special of her!
