Wendy, Wisteria is Sapling-In-Chief's mothers hippy-homeland. She the (the mum) is the one with te big stake in wisteria. My problem is SIC's new campground is too remore for me to ever seriously entertain even visiting it, again. Its a pretty enough site and I think she can make it work. I was raised in the south, and many of them southerners are people I hold in the highest regard. Regretably I would not go about on that property, unarmed ever. It cannot be be for me to dictate the terms of my daughters endeavour, but I am left with the profoundest of reservations.

On a happier note. I got an email from Trudi Davidoff today. She lives out on Long island (our fifty-first state) and got a fair amount of wind damage to her trees and electricity, but was otherwise not injured.
Your wintersown seed requests shoule go through un impeeded.

I had to toddle off to the vampire this morning for a fasting bloodwork. it was frosty out of doors in the early morning. Its slowly warming now.
I got bread proofing, a turkey stock simmering (and a bird to bake tomorrow). Shirley's meatballs tonight.
Garret got his yule gift early from me. So I'm feeling pretty smug, and if he's lucky with the fussy seedlings (pawpaw) we'll both get swelled heads.

Morning everyone,
Its a little cool here this morning, although no frost overnight.
We picked up Kait lastnight, so she's home until Sunday.
I have a hair appointment at 9am, and then off to Toronto for Brad.
Have a great day all.

regular garden forum readers have likely seen a poster by the name of "Woo". I owe a public debt of gratitude to Jang Woo Lee who had the courage to send openly over the border, ground nuts (apios) to me.
There are at least three distinct (and different) cultivars in his package, from what I have gotten from other sources.
If only these little tubers will grow...
Here is to dreaming of food independence...

Ok thank you for explaining. theres so many new plants and veggies that I get confused sometimes as to exactly what they are. Especially with the Oriental ones . My brother in Az. had 2 melons that he had received from his Asian neighbor and then he gave me one to try . Well I got it home , Texas , and finally cut it open expecting some kin to watermelons but it was white and hollow and didn't smell or taste like anything I had ever eaten before. Jim carried it down to the local Chinese restaurant --- very nice owners -- new to this area . Well the owner was so excited over it and explained it was more like what we refer to as a winter squash and very good for soup . hahaha Jim just gave the whole melon to him . The seeds we saved but they didn't germinate . The name the gentleman told Jim I can't even pronounce let alone spell .

Well, I have most forums to 'remember me'. I'll need to get past the distinct (but not impossible) wrinkle I-dig has built in to battle spam-bots. And Tomato-ville, which has an even more confounding bot-bulwark. Yahoo it seems is willing to deny access to its news groups in order to demand use of its web browser.
These last two may be fighting a pyric battle. If it becomes simpler to drop their stuff, than it is to link their stuff to the rest of the internet.

Marielouise, Apios (aka ground nut) was an east of the Mississippi wild legume, that makes a small (the first year) and bigger (as years pass) starchy tuber. It was indigenous people food, well past contact. It was mostly over harvested as it lives on the border between wood-lot and cleared (or burned over) spaces.
So it was easy to find and slow to reproduce. Its not clear how fertile its 'bean' is. it does self-clone by rhizome of tuber.
IMO this is one of those ideal food island plants; IE set them free against famine. Robin Marble has expressed an interest in distributing this kind of plant as well as OP garden seed on her forum (on yahoogroups).

Coppice that does sound like a very interesting plant . a few years back my Sis in law found a very old plant book that dealt with editable "wild" plants of the western mountains. Brother and wife live in New Mexico mountains . Any hooo the book had drawings and text descriptions so while the guys were roaming the mountains her and I carried the book along trying to identify different plants growing in the mountains near their home . We found quite a few, in the off the track locations --away from where the normal tourist types camp and travel about---we were very offf road so to speak. We actually found one that way back when the book was published ---cant rem exactly but was between 1915 and 1919 --- the plant was all but extinct according to be book from over harvest and land clearing. also a tuber and for the life of me I cannot rem the name had been used by Indians and early settlers . We found them in different places different mountain ranges . So sometimes the endangered do make a come back on their own in the more remote areas away from where people clear and plant . The time of year we came across the plants was not time for them to be moved or harvested according to the book but her and brother planned on going back to that one area and digging one tuber to start on their own land. They actually own 2 different cabins in 2 different mountain ranges out there. At the old cabin on the far west side of N.M. we found another patch of the same tuber but it is in a very diffacult area to get to and again wrong time of year to harvest, its in area where they don't venture to often due to the extremely bad roads and walking in is tough .

Wendy---Jim did the same and hes a vet.! He went in to the post office , got to the door before he realized it was closed. LOL I did not realize thats where he was headed, was just glad he was going to town and getting outa my hair for a couple hours. Its hard to get much of anything done when hes under foot cuz what ever hes doing he can't find this or that so I have to stop and help him hunt up some weird tool . Or he will get up on the ladder then hollar for me to bring his hammer--- or a nail or whatever it is he forgot.
One of these days I am just gonna rebel and refuse to help him find the damn hammer!!!
