| like comfrey or nettles for composting? like mizuna or arugula or minutia for winter harvests? like oriental cabbages and greens under glass? like daikon or china rose/white radishes in cold frames? like daylillies to eat? lol, if they grow, I try them! ~tom |

| Just browse the "Tropical Fruits" forum. I assure you it's hard to find something "common" there.... |

| We've got a mini snail farm, which is basically a raised bed of thyme covered with a screen frame to keep the snails from escaping. They are the medium-sized escargot snails, Helix Aspersa Mueller is the name, I believe, and they are all over this area. I built the "farm" to control their diet and save me the trouble of having to season them come dinner time :0 |

| Nettles for composting? That stings just thinking about it. I'm curious why would you want to do that? |

| I am in love with my Italian Edible Gourd! Beautiful plant. Lotta food! |

| I purchased some wild bird feed and decided to plant a handful of the stuff, tossed it, raked it and watered it. I now have mustard, two sorts of sunflowers, two to four or more grasses and an unidentified something. I expect to have produced enough wild bird feed to fill a medium plastic pail, perhaps more depending upon the sunflowers, starting with one handful of seed. |

| There is a cool hardy solanaceae called Pepino that should thrive in regions a bit too cool for tomatoes, "like Bergen Norway?" anyhow if anybody sees a seed source, please let me know. Another good one is Tomatillo if you have a cool garden. These are not hard to find. |
